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.
