Through the deep and tranquil world of incense that reminds us of the hospitality and elegance of scent, Genji-koh is an inn that reminds you of the elegance of the era of The Tale of Genji. Our inn is Japan's first Japanese-style inn with a scent-themed theme. Awakening the forgotten peace of mind. You can feel the comfort of incense everywhere in your room and throughout the hotel.
1. What is Tosenkyo?
As mentioned in the overview, the main attraction of the traditional Japanese game "Tosenkyo" is the beauty of throwing fans. You may imagine it as a game played in the tatami rooms of maiko (apprentice geisha), but in fact there are many schools and groups, and it is so popular that Tosenkyo tournaments are even held. Recently, events have been held where people who are playing Tosenkyo for the first time can try it out. At Genji-koh, Tosenkyo is held every day from 8:30 pm in the lobby on the first floor, and many customers have had the opportunity to try it out.
2. Win or lose?
A target is placed in the center and two throwers face each other, taking turns throwing the fan about 10 times, and the one with the highest total score is the winner.
The shapes are made using a "fan," "butterfly," and "pillow," and points are awarded based on the difficulty.
3. Genji-koh experience
As mentioned earlier, Genji-koh holds this event every day from 8:30 p.m.
We try to explain things in English as much as possible so that customers from overseas can experience the experience. (When there are parts that are difficult to express, we use Japanese examples.)
Our Taiwanese guests have been enjoying the photos, but if you are staying at Genji-koh, why not try out the "Tosenkyo" experience?
We look forward to your visit!
