This plan will be experienced at "NOIR CAFÉ", an atelier surrounded by plants owned by Miki Takeuchi, a lecturer of the Sanbon Oeda school of incense art and a flower designer. Many people ask about the art of incense art, and one of them is the ancient group incense called "Genjiko". In all schools, "Genjiko" is still practiced today. The design of the answer (listening name) based on the 54 plasters of the Tale of Genji is famous as "Genjiko no zu", a traditional Japanese pattern that is used in various traditional Japanese patterns such as lacquerware and kimonos. In this experience, you will be able to experience a digest of what Genjiko is like at an incense gathering, and how to listen to the scent and give an answer. Sitting upright is difficult, and incense gatherings are difficult to get into. However, this plan allows those who are interested in what Genjiko is like to fully experience it. After enjoying Genjiko, you will create your own fragrance like the aristocrats of the Heian period when the Tale of Genji was written. As the Tale of Genji also depicts fragrance-themed scenes, aristocrats would burn original fragrances in their kimonos. In this plan, you will blend your own original natural fragrances and make a sachet. The completed sachet will be placed in a special paulownia box designed and arranged by top designer Miki Takeuchi and filled with dried flowers associated with the Tale of Genji, and you can take it home as a special incense burner. After the experience, we will prepare edible incense. We will offer you medicinal tea and incense sweets. Please spend an elegant time in an extraordinary time warp for both body and mind.

The ruins of Shichi Castle are said to have once been the castle of Toyotomi Hideyoshi's military strategist Kuroda Kanbei and Kato Yoshiaki, one of the Seven Spears of Shizugatake. The representative of the "Society for Preserving Shichi Castle," which is dedicated to preserving the castle every day, will guide you through this precious historic site, which was an important base for the Awaji Navy under Hideyoshi. Located in Shichi, Minami Awaji City, near the Seto Inland Sea and the Naruto Strait, Shichi Castle is said to have been built by Suga Izuminokami Michitada during the Kamakura period, and was surrendered in 1581 when Toyotomi Hideyoshi attacked Awaji. After that, it was guarded by his vassal Kuroda Kanbei (Kuroda Yoshitaka), and from 1585, Kato Yoshiaki, one of the Seven Spears of Shizugatake, became the lord of the castle. The Awaji Navy, which had Shichi Castle as one of its bases, achieved great success in Hideyoshi's conquests of Kyushu, Odawara, and Korea, and there is no doubt that Awaji Island and Shichi Castle were important naval bases for Hideyoshi. However, the valuable historical site where Kuroda Kanbei and Kato Yoshiaki once lived has been swallowed up by bamboo forests in recent years and is on the verge of being forgotten by local residents. At that time, the local volunteers "Shichi Castle Preservation Society" stood up, worried that the valuable remains would disappear if things continued like this. In order to let many people, not just the locals, know about the Shichi Castle ruins and to pass on the story to future generations, they have been clearing the bamboo forest every day for about five years, and have been carrying out maintenance activities such as installing entrance roads and signs. This is a tour of the Shichi Castle ruins guided by Mr. Sekiguchi, the representative of the "Shichi Castle Preservation Society" who has a stronger passion for Shichi Castle than anyone else! The Shichi Castle ruins are currently being maintained, and recently wells and stones that are thought to be old stupas from that time have been discovered one after another. Perhaps you, as a participant of the tour, will discover an important relic! ■Experience schedule (if departing at 10:00) 10:00 Meet at the parking lot (north side of Shichi Castle ruins, across the street from the main entrance of Super Marunaka *see photo below) 10:00-10:05 Use the handmade sign as a landmark to move to the remains of the Honmarudai 10:05-10:15 Guide explains the history and characteristics of Shichi Castle 10:15-10:55 After viewing the remains such as the Taiko stone, the remains of the turret, and the old well, walk around the moat to Ise Shrine and Shomyo-ji Temple 10:55-11:00 Return to the parking lot and disband
