On the first day, the Heron Dance (Sagi no Mai) is dedicated at Yasaka Shrine, followed by the transfer of the mikoshi (portable shrine) to the otabisho (temporary resting place). On the final day (27th), a procession (Gokankō) is held to return the deity from the otabisho back to Yasaka Shrine.

Tōshun-ji Temple is the family temple of Mōri Motonari and also played a key role during the Meiji Restoration as a base for the Kiheitai militia and a temporary residence for Mōri Takachika. On guided tours led by the head priest, visitors can see the temple’s historic features, including the Important Cultural Property-designated main gate and Kannon Hall, as well as the grave of Kaoru Inoue and sword marks left by the Kiheitai. Zazen (seated meditation) experiences are also available.

The Ōuchi Doll Painting Experience is based on the story of the Ōuchi clan, where participants paint a traditional doll depicting a harmonious couple. Using acrylic paints, you can create your very own unique “My Ōuchi Doll.”
