  • This tour combines two traditional cultures with different stories of worshipping Mt. Katta in the Zao mountain range, and is a life trip experience where you can feel close to the "gods" at two shrines that have been the spiritual anchors of local residents since ancient times.
  • This festival is held every year at Kattamine Shrine in the Akatsuki Mairimiya area of Kattamine Shrine. For the past 70 years, men who are in their unlucky years (42 years old in the traditional Japanese age reckoning system) have carried 100-kan shimenawa ropes and paraded through the town before making an offering to the 500-year-old sacred tree, a pair of cedars in the shrine grounds. In addition, kagura performances and a Dondo festival are held in the shrine grounds.
  • In order to visually raise awareness of the mountain gods of mountain worship, a lighting production will be held at Yugami Shrine during events that utilizes light (illuminations and searchlights) to shine in the direction of worship and on landmarks (such as the direction of the peak of Mt. Katta).

A life trip experience that combines mountain worship with the gods of Zao [Standard] 3 nights, 4 days

This tour is a life trip experience that fuses two traditional cultures with different stories of worshiping Mt. Katta in the Zao mountain range, and brings you closer to the "gods" at two shrines that have long been the spiritual home of local residents. At the "Dawn Visit to Kattamine Shrine" held at Kattamine Shrine in the Miya district, you can enjoy a special tour of unreleased content that has only been held locally until now, such as the "100-kan Shimenawa Offering," where one carries one of Japan's largest shimenawa ropes and offers them to the sacred tree! This limited experience utilizes Yugami Shrine, which was built to give thanks to the gods for the source of Togatta Onsen, which has been open for over 400 years, and serves dishes made from ingredients that have been blessed by natural bounty from volcanic activity, and allows you to experience a ceremony of thanks. This Yugami Shrine is an unopened, uncrowded area that is only known to a select few local residents. We provide high-value-added content that allows you to experience the culture and food surrounding this shrine in one experience. In addition, both contents are high-value-added tours with lighting and night content that visually give you a sense of the mountain gods in mountain worship.
