The "Kenreimon" is depicted when Miotsukushi Takami and Miotsukushi Misora appear.
This gate is located within the Kyoto Imperial Palace and is said to have been established around 1232.
It is the main gate of the Kyoto Imperial Palace and usually opens when the Emperor passes through or when foreign heads of state or other state guests visit.
Therefore, even if you make a general visit to the Gosho, the gates will not be opened and you will only be able to see the exterior.
The Kyoto Imperial Palace covers an expansive area of approximately 65 hectares, where some 50,000 trees grow.
The area is famous for its beautiful cherry blossoms in spring, fresh greenery in summer, and autumn foliage in fall.
Other highlights include the Oike garden, a circular garden, and the Onnaiwa, a beautiful garden with garden stones and other features.
Please also visit the famous sliding door paintings of Morodaiyu-no-Ma, Shikikan-den, and Seiryoden, where the guardian deities are said to reside.

This gate is known for its prestige, as it is not open to all, but only the Emperor, Empress, and foreign heads of state may pass through.
The Imperial Palace has different gates for different statuses, so if you are only the Empress, you must enter through a different gate.

The Kamogawa River is where I met Zerozaki Hitoshiki, the man on the other side of the mirror, who first appeared in the second film in the Drama series.
Hitoshiki Zerozaki is a genuine killer with a face tattoo and a pedigree.
He has a tattoo on his right cheek, a piercing in his right ear, and a unique atmosphere.
Zerozaki and To-chan meet at the Kamogawa River.
The river becomes the Kamo River around Demachiyanagi, where it joins the Takano River, and has nurtured Kyoto's history for about 1,000 years.
In such a Kamogawa River, there is a stepping stone in the shape of a turtle called Kamogawa Delta.
○Detailed description of the Kamogawa River
The Kamo River is 23 km long.
It originates near Mt. Jashikigatake and flows north and south of Kyoto City up to the confluence of the Katsura River.
The Kamogawa River was originally opened by a Kyoto merchant named Ryoui Kadokura, who was responsible for the construction of the navigation channel.
In 1606, he began work on the Oigawa River, and also built from the Kamogawa River to the Takase River to carry out river engineering projects for riverboat transportation.
There are many dumpling shops and souvenir shops around the Kamo River, and many people enjoy eating their way to the Kamo River and other places of relaxation.
In summer, visitors can enjoy Noryo-doko (No-ryo floats) along the banks of the Kamo River, which flows through Kyoto City.
Noryokoyoko is a traditional event where visitors can enjoy tea and dumplings on a wooden deck while listening to the murmuring of the Kamo River.
Incidentally, Kamogawa Delta is also known as a sacred place for Tamako Market, Houkago Saikoro Club, Shijohan Mythology System, and K-ON! and K-ON!

Senbon Nakatachiuri (Kyotonakatachiuri Senbon-uri) is the home of the main character, Ie-chan, and is a good place to visit on a pilgrimage to a holy place.

The shopping area and other areas have a Showa-era feel, but the cafes and other facilities nearby are also full of character.
It has easy access to Shijo-Kawaramachi by bus, and many students of Ritsumeikan University live here.
Also nearby are the Nishijin Textile Hall, a textile products facility, the Daisho Joyous Temple, and the Mizuha Tenmangu Shrine.
○Detailed explanation of "Senbon Neutral Selling".
Senbon Nakadachiuri Street, where Senbon Street and Nakadachiuri Street intersect.
The name comes from a situation like "Rashomon" written by Ryunosuke Akutagawa, where there was a burial ground all over the north and a thousand pagodas lined up along the road to mourn the dead.
Neutral sales were also named after the many standing vendors who did not set up stores along the street.
