【Premium Experience Heart of KYOTO】
Experience Kyoto, the Thousand-Year Capital, in Takagamine – A Japanese Instruments Performance
Concept
Participants will visit Josho-ji Temple in Takagamine, the area where Kyoto's art and culture originated,
to experience the aesthetic sense of miyabi (“elegance”) cultivated over the centuries in Kyoto.
The program offers a fusion of Kyoto's history and modern music culture,
with a new and unconventional Japanese instruments performance featuring koto, dragon flute,
dance (Kagura dance and Nihon Buyo), and shakuhachi.
Participants will also enjoy a guided tour of the temple grounds and tea service in a premium experience that engages all five senses.
