[Comments from participants]
★ From “Shibamaru”
It's a tour where you can “talk to local people and get to know the area” that you can't get from sightseeing where you can “just look at it from the outside.”
The guides are friendly and will show you a lot of things.
The story is about historical mysteries engraved on stone statues I heard at Mount Yubune Temple, behind-the-scenes scenes of Kasuga Shrine and rural kabuki, which can only be entered on a tour, and watching stage equipment and props up close. It was a blink of an eye.
The rice balls at Komame Diner, which you can enjoy while talking with the guide after walking through the rice terraces, are also exceptional.
It's a luxurious time to hear from the people living there about the culture that has been preserved in the region!”
[Recommended points]
1) View of the entire Nakayama Senmaida from the grounds of Yubuneyama Renge-ji Temple. You can hear a lot about the origin and secret stories of Nakayama Senmaida.
2) While enjoying the natural landscape of Senmaida, which changes with the seasons and time of spring, summer, and fall, you can experience its activities and the lives of local people.
3) This is the only tour where you can visit the Nakayama rural Kabuki stage and tool shed, which are not usually open to the public.
4) “Komame Diner” popular rice ball set meal in rice terraces. This is a special plan where you can have a picnic at the pier on a rural Kabuki stage on a clear day, and relax at the Komame Diner on a rainy day and enjoy delicious food.
5) With guidance from a local guide who is familiar with not only Nakayama but also Shodoshima, you can experience the unique charms of Shodoshima in a more enjoyable and interesting way.
