"Then talk to him about it." Kato Megumi said.
"You still remember when Kasuga Taisha was first built, right?" Upon hearing this, Yushan Kazuto nodded, but he did not directly talk about the Couple's Great Shrine. Instead, he asked about Kasuga Taisha.
"In the second year of Wadō, the builder Fujiwara no Fuhito died!" Touma Sanae replied quickly.
She had an excellent memory, and she remembered it very clearly after Akio Narita had only introduced it to her once.
"That's right, the second year of Hetong, which is 710 AD." Yushan Heren nodded and said.
"Then have you ever thought that there were no shrines in Nara 710 years ago?" Yushan Kazuto said.
Upon hearing this, Doma Yui and the others couldn't help but shake their heads. The history of Nara is not just a few years, it can be traced back to the Jomon period.
"But, if there was a shrine before? Why did Kasuga Daisha become the main shrine?" Doma Yui asked in confusion.
"That's of course because the builder of Kasuga Taisha Shrine was Fujiwara no Fuhito!" Hayama Kazuto couldn't help but laugh.
Hearing this, Doma Mai couldn't help but blink slightly. Her knowledge of Japanese history was not very good, but she also knew that Fujiwara no Būhito was a famous name in history.
Chapter 2463 The Third Development Group
Walking into the development headquarters, although from the outside it looks like an ordinary tofu building, the visual experience is much better after entering the building.
Although unlike those famous technology companies in Silicon Valley, the entire building is not built with a very high-tech feel.
But after all, we just visited the administrative headquarters. If we compare it with the administrative headquarters, the sense of technology of the development headquarters is reflected.
"This headquarters development building was designed and built by the nationally renowned architectural design firm, Nippon Design. Next to the building, Nintendo's second headquarters development building is also under construction and is expected to be completed in December 2027."
The team leader introduced while walking in the development building of the main company.
Listening to the other party's introduction, everyone showed a look of suspicion on their faces.
Such a tofu-block building, with a design that is almost indistinguishable from Nintendo's administrative headquarters, was actually designed by "Japanese Design"?
This makes people wonder whether Japanese design received kickbacks.
But this is normal. Many designs in Japan are so fine-tuned that you can hardly see them, but the price is very expensive.
For example, the development building of Nintendo's headquarters has larger glass and a different color than that of Nintendo's administrative headquarters, which is a relatively obvious change.
"The first floor is a dining and entertainment area. You can play table tennis here, and when you're tired you can go into the restaurant to have a meal."
This design is much better than that of the administrative headquarters.
After all, although the administrative headquarters also provides catering, it is supplied by the cafeteria.
However, there are many restaurants in the development building of our headquarters for employees to choose from.
Previously in the administrative headquarters, it was difficult for the team leader to arrange for so many students to eat together. But in the development headquarters, everyone can choose the restaurant to eat freely.
However, this design also has certain problems, that is - the cost of dining has increased.
After all, each of these restaurants also needs to make a profit. Although Nintendo will give employees meal allowances, if they eat more or eat better, it will still exceed the allowance amount by a lot.
However, the average salary of the development department is slightly higher than that of the administrative department, so not many people care about it.
There are also many vending machines on the first floor.
Compared to the ordinary vending machines in the administrative headquarters, the machines in the development headquarters are obviously more unique.
It can be seen that each vending machine is carefully designed, which can be reflected from the appearance pattern to the items sold in the vending machine.
"Can we buy something from the vending machine?" a classmate suddenly asked.
"Of course you can, but please note that vending machines only accept cash. Bank cards or NFC payments are not supported." The team leader replied.
Upon hearing this, many students couldn't help but blink. They clearly saw that there were IC sensing devices and NFC sensing areas on the vending machine. Why did the team leader say that the vending machine did not support bank card and NFC payments?
In fact, these devices are exclusively for use by Nintendo’s internal employees. The people who came to visit Toyosaki did not have Nintendo’s employee cards, so they naturally could not use these functions.
However, despite their doubts, everyone still walked to the vending machine and started buying.
It has to be said that the goods sold in the vending machines are quite rich, mainly various co-branded foods and beverages of Nintendo.
However, all of Nintendo's major IPs are big players in collaborations, especially Pokémon, which has an alarming number of collaborations. Those listed in vending machines are only a part of them.
Although Yushan Kazuto did not have the fanaticism of a convert, he still walked to the vending machine.
Yushan and Ren hadn't had a drop of water since lunch, and now they were feeling a little thirsty.
Looking at the various co-branded drinks in the vending machines, Yushan and others were a little dazzled.
But soon, Yushan Heren saw a more special drink - Kangshou Fu Qingmei Green Tea.
This drink is co-branded with the upcoming Mario Movie 2.
It is said that this drink was also involved in the co-branding when Mario Movie 1 was released.
Perhaps they tasted the sweetness of success that time, so this time, they collaborated in advance before Mario Movie 2 was officially released.
After a little thought, Yushan Kazuto chose this drink.
A 500ml bottle of drink is only 100 yen, a 1l bottle of drink is only 150 yen, and it’s a co-branded product. What else do you want at this price?
After paying the money, Yushan Heren received a 1L bottle of iced Kangshuaifu Qingmei Green Tea.
I have to say, a sip of cold plum green tea is quite thirst-quenching.
Gradually, everyone finished their shopping and returned to the team leader's side.
Seeing everyone gathering together, the team leader said, "Since most of the students have already finished shopping, let's go upstairs first."
"Those who haven't finished shopping don't need to worry. After you finish touring the development headquarters and go downstairs, you can buy something or eat in the restaurant."

Hearing this, some students who were still reluctant to leave the vending machines came over.
Since there will be a chance when we come down later, there is no need to rush.
“The second floor is the most important
One of the development teams——Nintendo Development Headquarters Third Development Team!"
"Maybe this name doesn't sound strange, but it makes people feel a bit like 'small fish'."
As he was talking, the team leader couldn't help but pause, and everyone couldn't help but chuckle.
A development team named directly with numbers like this really gives people the feeling of being a small fry.
"But what if I say that the third development team is the group responsible for the development of the Zelda series?"
Hearing this, many students suddenly became respectful and couldn't help but feel a little sorry for their previous thoughts.
The team responsible for developing the Zelda series is considered an extremely important development team in the entire Nintendo.
The person in charge of the third development team is Eiji Aonuma. Friends who are familiar with the Zelda series should know this name.
Starting with "The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time", the entire Zelda series has been under the full charge of Eiji Aonuma, and it has been more than 20 years now.
Perhaps The Legend of Zelda is not Nintendo’s best-selling IP, but the significance of this IP to Nintendo is self-evident.
It can be said that the entire Legend of Zelda series can be said to be an important cornerstone of Nintendo's dominance in the world.
Thinking of this, everyone couldn't help but take a deep breath, and followed the team leader into the second floor with a feeling of reverence.
Chapter 2464 Lanshan
"I didn't expect Mr. Aonuma Eiji would come out to take pictures with us on the golf course. It was like a dream!"
"So I'm not the only one who thinks I'm dreaming?"
"Don't young gamers dream about producer seniors?"
"It's just a pity. It would have been better if we took the photo under the huge Zelda scroll in the headquarters."
"Just be content. If the administrative headquarters doesn't allow you to take photos, how can the development headquarters allow you to take photos?"
"I know, it's just a pity."
"It's a pity that the exhibition hall has not been repaired yet. Otherwise, we would be able to visit the exhibition hall this time."
"As for the exhibition hall, I'll have a chance to visit it in the future. After all, it's open to the public for exhibitions, unlike the headquarters this time, which is usually not open to the public for exhibitions."
"That's right. As for the exhibition hall, we can come and visit it after it's repaired."
"By the way, what series of patterns did the commemorative flower cards you received have?"
"I opened a Pokémon Red Commemorative Flower Note."
"Here is a commemorative flower note for The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild."
“Is there any difference between the Breath of the Wild Commemorative Hanafuda and the Kingdom Tears Commemorative Hanafuda?”
"It feels like the types of cards are a little different. Breath of the Wild has the Four Sacred Beasts, and Tears of the Kingdom has special cards like the White Dragon."
After visiting the development headquarters, the other students were discussing enthusiastically what they saw and heard during the visit, as well as the commemorative gifts given to everyone by the group leader after the visit.
On the other side, Tsuchiya's eyes were a little dazed and she couldn't help but yawn.
……
"What's wrong? You look listless?"
The rest of the students left one by one, and Yushan Kazuto and his group got on the train to the next optional item. Seeing that Doma Mai still looked listless, Yushan Kazuto spoke.
"Ah? No?" Upon hearing this, Tsuchima Mai couldn't help but speak.
However, just as he finished speaking, Doma Maibe saw several pairs of eyes cast on him. Ever since the tour was over, he had been looking listless.
"It's just that I didn't sleep well last night, so I'm a little sleepy now." Looking at everyone, Tsuchima Mai knew that she couldn't fool people anymore, so she said angrily.
"Didn't you get enough rest last night?" Upon hearing this, Yushan Heren couldn't help but blink slightly.
He still remembered that last night, Domama sent him a message saying that she couldn't sleep.
Originally, Yushan Kazuto thought that it was just an excuse made by Doma Mai. When he saw Doma Mai yawning at noon, Yushan Kazuto also thought that she was just sleepy after eating. But now it seems that is not the case.
"A little bit." Tsuchima blinked and said.
In fact, when visiting the development headquarters just now, Doma Mai felt a little sleepy.
It was just the excitement in her heart that supported Doma Yui to complete the entire tour of the headquarters.
But after the tour, Doma Yui lost her support and fatigue took over again.
"Then let's rest in the car for a while. It should take another twenty minutes to get to Arashiyama now." Kato Megumi said.
Hearing this, Tsuchima Mai couldn't help but look at Kato Megumi, nodded, then closed her eyes and rested.
Yushan and the others couldn't help but look at each other and exchanged glances. Then they lowered their heads and began to open their commemorative flower cards.
……
Arashiyama is probably the most famous natural scenic spot in Kyoto.
The cherry blossoms in spring and the maple leaves in autumn in Arashiyama are both so beautiful that they make you intoxicated.
In the past, when Kyoto was still called Heian-kyo, the princes and nobles would go boating on the Oie River during the cherry blossom or maple season to enjoy the scenery of Arashiyama.
In fact, it is similar now. For example, the Shinomiya family’s main residence in Kyoto is actually near Arashiyama.
Every April and November, the Shinomiya family holds a Guanlan Banquet, inviting guests to the Shinomiya residence to view the late cherry blossoms and red maples from afar.
It's a pity that none of these views were available in early October.
But there is no way, since Toyonosaki's school trip is scheduled at this time.
Moreover, even if it is not the cherry blossom or maple viewing season, Arashiyama is still worth a visit.
Moreover, for Yushan and others, coming to Arashiyama at this time might be a better experience.
During the cherry blossom and maple leaf viewing season, the entire Arashiyama is packed with people.
Unlike now, there are few tourists and it is much more relaxing.
From the fact that out of the six or seven hundred students in two grades of Toyonosaki, only less than thirty students chose Arashiyama as their optional project, it can be seen that there are indeed not too many people who come to visit Arashiyama during the non-viewing period.
Among these less than thirty students, many were influenced by Yushan Kazuto in their choice.
If this part is removed, there may be less than 20 students willing to visit Arashiyama in early October.
After entering the Arashiyama Scenic Area, Yushan Heren did not go to the Oyan River first, but instead came to the bamboo forest path.
