Rating 4.5

初めての気球でとても貴重な体験となりました。体験内容にビル13階相当まで上がると書いてあり、「あんまりかな？」と思っていましたが、いざ乗ってみるととても高くて周辺の山々の風景を楽しめました。 1つ難点としては、体験が6時〜で細かい時間は前日の体験が決行出来るかどうかの連絡の際に伝えられてたため、旅行者の場合はその後に予定などを詰めすぎない方が良いです。しかし、スタッフの方々の対応も愛想良く、テキパキしていて良かったです。ありがとうございました！

【Saga・Kashima】 Unusual Japanese Culture Experience at Yutoku Inari Shrine! Including Dance by Shrine Maidens and Tamagushi Ritual Offerings!

Plan ID:34854 Saga / Kashima/Tara Hobby / Cultural experience / Traditional culture experience / Visit temples & shrines Provide：祐徳稲荷神社

Age 10～Age 90
1～2 hours
09:00

In this plan, you will be able to enjoy the performance of congratulatory words by the priesthood, the shrine maiden dance, and the Kagura drums in the Kagura hall. You will also experience Tamagushi worship. * This plan is not baptism. It is a prayer for your own health and a ritual to cleanse yourself. Comes with an English pamphlet. (We will pray at the same seat as ordinary worshipers who receive normal prayers.) * The priest will perform the above Shinto ritual at the Kagura-den together with the general public, so the waiting time is up to 30 minutes due to circumstances. It may occur to some extent.

This is a calligraphy class in Kamitori Arcade, near Kumamoto Castle and the Traditional Crafts Museum, in the center of Kumamoto City. My name is Suiko and I am the owner of the calligraphy class and have been teaching for over 15 years. You can experience Japanese culture, calligraphy, while looking at a Japanese garden in a Japanese-style room like a Japanese home. Japanese people, foreigners, and people of any nationality are welcome. I can speak Japanese and simple conversational English, but I will use a translator if necessary. You can practice while looking at a simple calligraphy sample, and at the end you can write it on a colored paper and take it home. I can also translate your name or favorite phrase into Japanese and write the sample. Relax and enjoy the calligraphy experience like a local in Kumamoto. It will be a great experience!
