Walk, eat, and enjoy “Oyama-mairi (Pilgrimage to Oyama).”
“Oyama-mairi,” an annual event in summer continuing from Edo period, is a Japanese heritage in Isehara. Oyama was a popular travel spot in Edo era where 1/5 of the population visited. For Edo citizens, Oyama-mairi was a convenient location that combined“pilgrimage” and “amusement.” “Nippon Takaramono Project” relives that experience in the modern era. We will hike around sacred locations with a guide in the daytime, and enjoy the festival with local food and sake in the nighttime. We will introduce you the Japanese local “treasure” through live performances. Let’s have fun and learn at the same time in the “pilgrimage to Oyama in Heisei”!
