Gain special access to a Shinto ritual and experience a naorai feast at the main hall of Iwashimizu Hachimangu, a national treasure
This is a rare experience in which you gain special access to a Shinto ritual held at the main hall, a national treasure, and partake in sacred sake and offerings presented before the deities within the shrine's sacred space. As part of the tour, receive a special lecture from a Shinto priest on carvings by Hidari Jingoro, arts and decorations that preserve stories of exchanges with Oda Nobunaga, a study that served as a place of rest for the emperor during imperial visits that is closed to the public and cultural heritages.
