When most people think of Takarazuka, they think of the Takarazuka Revue, but surprisingly, there are not only operas, but also hot springs, memorial halls, and other attractions around Takarazuka Station. After the performance in Takarazuka, why don't you take a walk around the city from a different side with a tour guide? There will surely be new discoveries! ~Time schedule~ 13:00 [Meet in front of the Hankyu Takarazuka station ticket gate] The tour starts here! Although the road is flat, you will walk about 2 kilometers, so please wear comfortable shoes on the day. 13:10 [Birthplace of Carbonated Rice Crackers and Wilkinson Vending Machine] The popular carbonated water "Wilkinson Tansan" when drinking a highball. Did you know that this "Wilkinson Tansan" originated in Takarazuka? In front of Takarazuka Onsen, there is an all-Wilkinson vending machine only here in Japan. 13:20 [Takarazuka Onsen Hotel Wakamizu] During the Showa era, Takarazuka Family Land and hot springs were located along the Muko River, and it was a prosperous resort. There are only a few hotels in operation now, but the atmosphere of the hot spring town of yesteryear still lingers in the air. 13:40 [Takarazuka Ohashi] After passing Takarazuka Onsen, a large tower apartment is currently under construction on the site where the "Takarazuka Hotel", which was founded in 1923, used to be. Please take a look at the town of Takarazuka, which has been renewed with the changing times. The view from Takarazuka Bridge is a great photo spot. The set of Takarazuka Opera, Hankyu Railway and Mukogawa can only be seen here. The sidewalk of Ohashi is also spacious, so you can take pictures slowly. (Every 30 minutes on the hour, the fountain "Big Phoenix" rises from the Muko River, so if you're lucky, you can see it.) 13:55 [Tezuka Osamu Memorial Museum] Did you know that Mr. Osamu Tezuka was actually from Takarazuka? Uka Born in Toyonaka City, Osaka Prefecture in 1928, I lived in Takarazuka City, Hyogo Prefecture from the age of 5, when I was just starting to understand things, to my sensitive boyhood, and until I was about to enter adulthood when I was 24. A museum has been built in Takarazuka to commemorate his achievements, not only as a city where he once lived, but also as a city that gave the underlying theme of all Tezuka manga. 14:40 [Hana no Michi] I think it goes without saying for Takarazuka fans, but it seems that Hana no Michi also means a flower path to the Takarazuka Grand Theater. It is truly a “flower path to the world of dreams”. There are bronze statues of opera performances such as "The Rose of Versailles" and a bronze statue of "Ichizo Kobayashi", the founder of Hankyu Corporation and the Takarazuka Revue. 14:50 [Takarazuka Hotel] There is a newly relocated Takarazuka Hotel in the middle of Hananomichi. In 2009, the Takarazuka Hotel was selected as the official hotel of the Takarazuka Grand Theater with the concept of "continuing your dreams here." Please take a look at the dignified appearance. 15:00 [Arrival at Takarazuka Station]

Let's explore the history of Shimabara, which is deeper the more we know about it. In fact, Shimabara is a common name, and the original place name is Nishishin-yashiki, and the name Shimabara comes from the Shimabara Rebellion in Kyushu. A walk around the town of Shimabara, the past and present. The history of the red-light district and prostitutes is by no means shallow, and there are customs (traces) that continue to this day. Through the history of Shimabara, you can even get a glimpse of Japanese history. All of the courses you will follow are spots related to Shimabara. This time, we will explore Shimabara, which has never ceased to attract men from all over the world, from a historical perspective! Shimabara Red Light District is a hidden spot in Kyoto that is open even on weekends! The reason it is a hidden spot is that even if you walk around alone with tourists, there are few historical explanations and it is difficult to understand the highlights. If you join my plan, I will explain the highlights of Shimabara, so your understanding will be greatly improved. [Course Contents] ① Remains of Suzaku-oji Right next to Shimabara was Suzaku-oji, the main street of the Heian period. The road is 84 meters wide, so you can imagine how wide it was. ② Remains of the Kaburenjo The Kaburenjo, where the prostitutes practiced, was demolished with the decline of Shimabara, but the sacred tree and photos from that time are on display. ③ Shimabara Daiginkyou Benzaiten Shrine The sacred tree of Shimabara Sumiyoshi Shrine was located within the shrine grounds, but it is now located in a different place due to the influence of the anti-Buddhist movement during the Meiji Restoration. ④ Shimabara Sumiyoshi Shrine It is known as a matchmaking shrine by locals. ⑤ Shimabara Nishimon Monument The red-light district only has one gate, but Shimabara has two. There was originally only one, but there was a reason why Shimabara needed two gates to prosper. ⑥ Remains of Higashi Korokan There was originally a guest house called Higashi Korokan in the Shimabara area of the entertainment district. ⑦ Kadoya Hospitality Culture Museum (exterior only) Kadoya, famous for the Shinsengumi. It is what we would call a high-class restaurant today. ⑧Wagaya This is the only brothel still in operation in Shimabara. ⑨Shimabara Daimon Ryoma Sakamoto and the Shinsengumi actually passed through Shimabara Daimon when they came to Shimabara. This is a place where you can feel the history deeply. If you would like to participate on a day other than the event or if you would like to apply as a group, please contact us.
