Private Osuwa Daiko Performance Tour for Suwa Spiritual Essence

Explore Suwa-Taisha shrine, considered one of the oldest shrines in the country, and Buppou-syoryuji Temple with a guide to discover the world of natural faith.
Experience the essence of natural faith up close through a special “dedication performance of Osuwa Daiko” at Buppou-syoryuji Temple.
Engage in an exchange with Mr. YAMAMOTO Makoto, the guardian of Osuwa Daiko, who played a pivotal role in shaping today’s Japanese drumming culture, and hear about his passion for the drums.

After registration, we will take a taxi to Suwa-Taisha Upper Shrine Main Hall.

・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.

・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.
