The female staff member at reception during check-in impressed me with her proactive, exemplary hospitality.I stay at Hotels for a change of pace, and this Hotel made me feel at ease in every way—facilities, staff, and overall comfort—with no small discomforts.It was part of the Plan, but I gladly took them up on it and stayed for 24 hours.At reception, they said, “Please let us know if there is anything you need,” showing a positive attitude. At the restaurant as well: “Please relax and enjoy your stay.”They even asked, “Did you sleep well?” You don’t often hear that elsewhere. It had been a while since I stayed at a major international chain Hotel, and their training truly showed.The Room design is also charming.I can see why it’s popular with guests from both Japan and abroad.
I have stayed at various Hilton chain Hotels so far, and I was able to stay without any issues, which made me very satisfied. It was evident in many aspects that they thoroughly study their customers.

“Deities at a Temple: A 1,000-Year Bond”
Lecturer: Akitoshi Tsuji, Executive Director, Kofuku-ji Temple (Head Temple of the Hosso School)
Every year on January 2, monks from Kofuku-ji visit Kasuga Taisha Shrine and recite the Heart Sutra and the “Thirty Verses on Consciousness-Only” before the deities.
This is also the first day offerings are presented to the gods of Kasuga Taisha.
Many visitors may find it unusual to see Buddhist monks at a shrine; however, the idea of kami and buddhas supporting one another was widely accepted until Japan’s Meiji-era separation order was issued.
In this lecture, we will explore Shinbutsu-shugo (the syncretism of Shinto and Buddhism), which still lives on in religious practice today, through real-life experiences.
================
Fee: JPY 4,000 per person
*A portion of the participation fee will be donated to the lecturer’s organization for cultural property preservation.
Venue: 1F Together & Co.
