Since visitors came behind time and every member gathered at around 13:40.  As three people cancelled participating in our tour, we had five visitors, whom we divided into two groups.  As we had only 60 minutes except traveling time, in order to have them understand unique Japanese custom, we chiefly guided following places such as Statue of Prince Shotoku (constitutor of Seventeen-article Constitutions with a phrase to cherish the harmony among people), Ball Grave and Used Tea Whisks Grave (to have the visitors understand Buddhist mind to respect the old and used-up goods),  Statue of the Reverend Kobo Daishi on a Pilgrimage, yakudoshi (unlucky ages), incense burner and so on.  In this tour, in order to have the visitors understand Japanese culture, we asked the visitors to compare our culture with their own culture.
