Incense listening class where you can “listen” to scents

Monkou has been enjoyed by aristocrats since the Heian period as a game of listening to the scent of incense and guessing its type. You can also experience this game at Genji-koh with a simple introduction. You can also experience actually listening to incense, so it is recommended for those who are interested.

A colorful uchikake experience

You can experience wearing several types of uchikake. I don't have a lot of opportunities to wear it, but I think there are many people who would like to try it. You can take wonderful and memorable photos.

Aim for the target! Tosenkyo

Tosenkyo is a game where you compete for points by throwing a fan at a target called a butterfly. Throwing a fan is more difficult than you might think, and I think both children and adults will enjoy it to the fullest.

Rent The Tale of Genji

The Tale of Genji is the world's oldest full-length novel, written by Murasaki Shikibu during the Heian period. An English version is also available, so even those who can't read Japanese can enjoy it.

You can have many special experiences

As we have introduced so far, we offer many valuable and special experiences that you cannot find anywhere else. This inn is recommended for those who want to experience Japanese culture. We look forward to seeing you at Genji-koh!
