    It was my first time seeing an Izumo Kagura performance. It was wonderful. I also got to see the sunset before heading home, and I truly understood the beauty of the “Land of the Setting Sun.” During the Kagura performance… I started to worry that my aunt might not be feeling well. It was so hot—I was worried she might get heatstroke. Thank you, everyone.

    From Staff

    My original plan was to go sightseeing in Himinozaki on time for the regular kagura performance, but as I strolled around before the kagura performance, the beautiful scenery made me mutter, "Ah, happiness! I muttered to myself several times as I strolled around before the kagura performance. Of course, the kagura was just as I had expected, and it was worth the trip! After the kagura, the tour staff was kind enough to wait for sunset to pick us up and take us to the places we had walked and guided through to enjoy the divine sunset to the fullest. It is really nice to see how pleasantly the young staff members run the event!

    Thank you very much for your participation in the Izumo Kagura Regular Performance 2025. We are very happy and encouraged to hear that the Izumo Kagura dance did not meet your expectations and that you felt "happy" when you saw the scenery of Himinozaki. We are happy to hear that you were able to relax and enjoy yourself until sunset after the performance, and that you were able to experience the mystical scenery that only Hinomizaki can offer. Thank you very much for your warm words to our management staff. Our young staff members are encouraged by this feedback and will strive to deliver an even better experience. We hope you will visit Himigozaki again and enjoy the charm of nature and Izumo Kagura. We look forward to seeing you again.

    The details said it started at 5:30 p.m., but when I went there, I was told it started at 6:00 p.m. I waited.

    Despite the flight delays caused by the typhoon and my late arrival, you still took the time to check on me. I had actually seen this traditional performing art before as part of a class when I was a student, but watching it as an adult allowed me to appreciate it from many different perspectives—it was a truly satisfying hour. The location was also wonderful, as the sunset was just beginning to set. Thank you for the wonderful memories and experience. If the opportunity arises, I would love to visit again.

    From Staff

    It was wonderful. The performers were so dedicated to entertaining the audience, and I really enjoyed the show. I especially loved the chase scene in “The Mountain God,” where they came right into the audience, and the sword dance performance. Thank you very much. I’m curious to see what other performances you have. Also, I was able to try on a Kagura mask at the end—an experience I wouldn’t normally get to have—so I enjoyed myself right up until the very end. However, the staff members were walking back and forth around the stairs, which was a bit distracting.

    From Staff

    I participated in the Japanese Heritage Guide this time. The guide was very knowledgeable about the various histories related to Himigozaki and things that the general public may not be aware of. I learned so much. The kagura performance was very impressive and the participants were immersed in a sacred and solemn atmosphere. It was a precious experience. The only thing that was a little disappointing was that the performance time was a little shorter than advertised. Overall, I would like to attend this event again and would highly recommend it.

    From Staff

    The kagura dance was powerful and I felt it is a Japanese culture that we should be proud of. The staff was nice. However, it would have been better if the reception area had been designated. It is not the same as simply going up to the hall of worship when you arrive.

    From Staff

    Thank you very much for coming to Izumo Kagura Regular Performance 2025. We are honored to hear that you felt the power of Izumo Kagura dance and experienced the pride of Japanese culture. Thank you also for your warm words to our staff. On the day of the event, there was a sudden power outage in the Himigozaki area surrounding the venue, and we sincerely apologize for any inconvenience or anxiety this may have caused to our guests. We also appreciate your valuable feedback that there were points that were difficult to understand regarding reception and guidance. In the future, we will work to improve our information system so that it is easy to understand, including during emergencies, and so that everyone can enjoy the exhibition with peace of mind. We sincerely look forward to welcoming you to Izumo again.

    Thank you very much for your hospitality the other day. It was my first time to see kagura and I really enjoyed it. The long and large serpent in the performance "Hachinohe" was full of power, and the heroic battle of Susanou was popular among children. The taiko, flute, and bells were wonderful, and although it was a dedicatory kagura performance, I could almost move my body with the groove of the music. Transportation was the biggest obstacle, but we were able to ask for a set of car arrangements for the return trip, which was a big help.

    From Staff

    Thank you very much for coming to Izumo Kagura Regular Performance 2025. The staff and performers are very pleased to read your heartwarming feedback. We are most pleased to hear that you enjoyed the power of the serpent and Susanoo in "Hachinohe" and that we were able to convey the charm of Izumo Kagura to you. Your comment that your body almost moved involuntarily to the sound of the drums, flutes, and bells is also proof that you were able to feel the real thrill of Izumo Kagura. We hope you will come again to Izumo to experience the world of Izumo Kagura. We look forward to seeing you again in Izumo.

    It was a very meaningful time for me to be able to watch Kagura at the shrine. I would also like to support the activities of the preservation society. It was a pity that we could not see the sunset because it was cloudy, but we would like to revisit it for the next time. Also, we used the shuttle cab, but we could see the fare from our seats, and although we felt it was unavoidable, we wished there had been some consideration so that we would not be able to tell.... We found out that the fare arrived at a lower rate than the number of people on board x the rate...

    From Staff

    Thank you very much for attending the Izumo Kagura Regular Performance 2025. We regret that you were not able to see the sunset, which is recognized as a Japanese Heritage site, due to the weather, but we are glad that you had a meaningful time enjoying Izumo Kagura at the Himigozzaki Shrine. We are also very sorry that we did not give enough consideration to the use of the shuttle cab, which caused you some discomfort. We will take your comments seriously and consider future measures. Thank you very much for your valuable feedback. We look forward to welcoming you to Izumo again.

    I was disappointed that the performance at Himizaki-jinja Shrine that I had planned to attend last November was cancelled due to a road collapsing accident. I was not familiar with kagura, but the pamphlet provided a concise introduction to the performance so that even a novice could easily understand the structure of the program. The limited edition red seals with beautiful elaborate paper cutouts were wonderful, and the tour of Japanese heritage sites given by the guide before the performance was also very good. I have one more wonderful memory of my favorite Izumo and my favorite Himigozaki. Thank you very much.

    From Staff
