Meet-Up & Reception
Please present the My Page reservation screen at the reception desk. After gathering at Nohi Gokoku Shrine, we will guide you through its history and then proceed to visit the shrines associated with Ogaki Castle.
Change into a Shinto priest's costume (inside the Nohi Gokoku Shrine)
First, you will change into a Shinto priest's costume to experience the traditional Shinto rituals at the shrine.
Make Tamagushi, transcribe Shinto rituals (inside the Nohi Gokoku Shrine)
<Making Tamagushi> Tamagushi is an item used in Shinto rituals and is offered to the deity with wishes. It is made by cutting incisions in numerical order with a cutter and folding them in order to create "shide" (paper streamers). The "shide" is then tied with a half-knot to a branch of the sacred sakaki tree. <Transcribing Shinto Rituals> This is intended for the priest to chant, containing written wishes to the deity on paper. All characters are written in Kanji using a brush.
Shrine visitation method (1) Enter and proceed (2) Perform purification ritual (3) Recite Shinto prayers (inside the Nohi Gokoku Shrine)
<(1) Enter and proceed> After following the guiding priest, proceed to the main hall and take a seat on the chair (Kosho). The priest on the upper stage will perform the ritual. Please remain seated until the guiding priest calls you. <(2) Perform purification ritual> To purify your mind and body, the priest will conduct a purification ritual. The guiding priest will instruct you to "stand up," "bow your head," "straighten up," and "sit down," so please follow the instructions accordingly. <(3) Recite Shinto prayers> The priest will recite Shinto prayers. During this time, please keep your head down. Once the prayer is finished, please raise your head.
Dedicate an ema (wooden votive plaque), draw an omikuji (fortune slip) (inside the Nohi Gokoku Shrine)
The activity concludes once you change back into your clothes.
