Step into the heart of Japanese tradition and take part in a rare and unforgettable cultural experience.

In this unique program, you will have the opportunity to carry a real mikoshi (portable shrine) together with local festival members during a traditional shrine celebration. Rather than simply watching, you will actively participate in one of Japan’s most energetic and sacred cultural events.

Participants will change into authentic festival attire (happi coat and headband) and receive a safety briefing before the experience begins. You will learn the traditional chants and movements used during the procession, allowing you to fully immerse yourself in the atmosphere of the festival.

Professional photos will be taken to capture your participation in this once-in-a-lifetime experience.

This experience is ideal for travelers who are looking for something beyond sightseeing — a genuine cultural immersion that connects you with local communities and living traditions.
