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.
