This is a private kagura performance where a small group of 1 to 10 people can enjoy Iwami Kagura, a traditional performing art that has been passed down in the western part of Shimane Prefecture since ancient times, at Ryugozen Shrine in the hot spring town of Yunotsu, Shimane Prefecture. Iwami Kagura is a dance that has been practiced since ancient times in the Iwami region of western Shimane Prefecture, mainly based on Japanese mythology, and is danced to lively music while wearing gorgeous costumes woven with gold and silver threads and expressive masks. It is a traditional performing art that has been passed down. With this plan, you can enjoy a local sake pairing from ``Wakabayashi Sake Brewery,'' a sake brewery in Onsentsu that has been in business for over 100 years, in a private space limited to one group per day and a maximum of 10 people. After the performance, you can also get to know the behind-the-scenes aspects of traditional performing arts, such as interacting with dancers, trying on costumes, playing music, and taking photos. In addition, the ``Kagura Cup,'' the cup into which sake is poured, is handmade by ``Kameya Ceramics,'' a company that manufactures the stone tiles that decorate roofs in the Iwami region, and you can take it home as a souvenir after viewing it. (For customers who prefer non-alcoholic drinks, we use Iwashimizu, Wakabayashi Sake Brewery's brewing water, and also enjoy ``mulberry tea,'' a material used to make Sekishu washi paper used in the production of Kagura masks. *Seasonal) (The tea leaves may change depending on the situation) If you like tradition, history, and theater performances, you can enjoy it regardless of your age or nationality.

★ COOL HIROSHIMA ★ Japanese calligraphy is an artistic form of writing with a brush and ink to express your mind. As a traditional visual art, people look at the calligraphy and appreciate the beauty and impressions of characters and their meanings. Unlike paintings or other writings, you have only one chance to write with a brush. The brush strokes cannot be corrected or even rewritten. Usually, you need to sit straight on the floor and focus on calligraphy, but in this plan we provide tables and chairs for overseas visitors as they may find it difficult to sit on the floor. Our school is located in central Hiroshima and easy to access, come stop by on your visit to this area if time permits between your sightseeing programs.​ ​ As a memory of your Hiroshima trip, join our special Japanese calligraphy experience offered by a professional instructor. ※English speaking guide is available. ※ Gift brush and plain folding fan included.
