Chichibu Festival Museum: By watching the 3D theater and the projection mapping, you will immerse yourself in the culture and the festivals in Chichibu. You can watch traditional music by the local players of Chichibu Yatai Bayashi. This is a rare opportunity as there aren't many other tours where you can watch the Festival Music performance. The guide can play all the instruments. I'm sure you can deepen the charm of Chichibu Yatai Bayashi.

Chichibu Shrine: It has a history of 2111 years. A Female God "Myoken-sama" lives here, which is in the direction of the northern star. On the other side, we can see Mt. Buko, where the Dragon God lives, who comes to "Otabisho" to meet "Myoken-sama" once a year on the day of the Night Festival.

Exploring the downtown Chichibu: Besides the quaint shops, cafes, and local gourmet food, you visit Suwa Shrine and "Otabisho".

This tour will be held only on Oct 6, 14, and 20 this year. Don't miss out on this opportunity.
