Suwa Taisha Kamisha Honmiya

・First, we will explore Suwa Taisha Upper Shrine Main Hall with guidance from Mr. YAMAMOTO Makoto. ・You will gain an understanding of the unique concept of natural faith through discussions about the history of the Suwa-Taisha shrine, its architecture, and the Onbashira Festival.

1 hour 30 minutes
Buppōshōryūji Temple

・Buppou-syoryuji Temple has a strong connection with the Suwa-Taisha shrine, as it inherited and protected the essence, when the shrine's associated temple was destroyed during anti-Buddhist movements. ・We will provide insights into the connections and background that go beyond the shrines and temples. ・At Buppou-syoryuji Temple, we will specially present a dedication performance with the Osuwa Daiko (Japanese drum) in front of the revered Suwa Daimyojin. ・The climax will include a special prayer by the head priest, where we will collectively send our wishes to the Gods and Buddhas. ・Through hands-on drumming experiences and interactions with Mr. YAMAMOTO Makoto, we invite you to truly experience the spirituality of the people who pass down the culture in this region.
