Discover a side of Hiroshima that few travelers get to experience on this cultural day trip to Kitahiroshima Town, known as the "Home of Kagura."

Enjoy a buffet lunch featuring locally grown rice cooked in a traditional kamado stove and a variety of regional specialties. Explore the fascinating world of Japanese swords through an exhibition featuring works by master swordsmith Sadanao Mikami, and try on authentic-style samurai armor for memorable photos.

The highlight of the day is a live Kagura performance, a centuries-old Japanese performing art that brings ancient myths and legends to life through elaborate costumes, expressive masks, powerful drumming, and dramatic storytelling. After the performance, you'll even have an opportunity to try on Kagura costumes.

With round-trip transportation from Hiroshima Station, this tour brings together local food, samurai history, and traditional performing arts in one unforgettable countryside experience.
