Local Discovery
In Grand Mercure Nara Kashihara, you can enjoy the sutra of Kofuku-ji Temple, the site of Kawahara-ji Temple in Asuka Village.
In addition, for more than 300 years in Nara Prefecture, the birthplace of Japanese brushes, we have prepared brushes and ink from Akashiya, a manufacturer specializing in brushes that inherit the culture of brushes.
For beginners and children, as well as those who have experienced calligraphy, please spend a time touching the history and culture of Nara through sutras.
Testimony
Founded in 1716. In Yamato no Kuni, I have been engaged in making brushes as a brush priest at Nanto Seven Great Temples. In the middle of the Edo period, the first head of the family raised the sign of the testimony as a brush wholesaler, and it is a brush manufacturer that inherits the culture of the brush for more than 300 years.
There is a showroom that displays and sells products in the company building, where you can purchase calligraphy brushes, brush pens, makeup brushes, etc., as well as a tour of brush making by traditional craftsmen, experience making brushes, and workshops on making works.

Kofuku-ji Temple Ruins of Kawahara-ji Temple
Kawahara-dera Temple Ruins Kofukuji Temple is a temple located in Asuka Village, Nara Prefecture, where many historical mysteries remain. In the Asuka era, it was counted as four Asuka temples along with Asuka-dera Temple, Yakushi-ji Temple, and Daikandaiji Temple, and it was a large temple that Emperor Tenmu gathered calligraphy and performed the first sutra. It was abandoned during the Muromachi period, but Kofukuji is located on the site of the temple that inherits the lantern.
