京都の旅｜北野天満宮 梅花祭と幻想ライトアップ｜献茶の儀・野点大茶会・とようけ茶屋・喫茶静香

I visited Kitano Tenmangu Shrine in Kyoto during the beautiful Baikasai (Plum Blossom Festival). In this video, you will see the plum blossoms in full bloom under the gentle daylight, as well as the magical evening illumination. I also introduce the sacred Kencha Ceremony (tea offering ritual) and the large outdoor tea gathering known as Nodate Dai-chakai. While exploring the shrine, I touch on the history of Tenjin worship dedicated to Sugawara no Michizane, the deity of learning, and the mystery surrounding the Important Cultural Property, Sanko-mon Gate. For lunch, I visited the famous tofu restaurant Toyouke Chaya, and later enjoyed a relaxing coffee break at the traditional kissaten café Shizuka. Kitano Tenmangu Shrine enshrines Sugawara no Michizane (845–903), who is revered in Japan as the god of scholarship. Plum blossoms are deeply associated with him, symbolizing perseverance and elegance in early spring. I hope you enjoy this journey through Kyoto’s early spring traditions.
