Activity

Experience the Mishima Shagiri (festival music) of the traditional Mishima Grand Festival

Mishima Shagiri is unique festival music played primarily at the Mishima Grand Festival.
It is characterized by large-scale, loud performances on Surigane (metal percussion) and competitions where multiple neighborhoods simultaneously perform the song "Yatai."

Try playing traditional Japanese instruments, including the Surigane (metal percussion)

Learn about the history and performance techniques of Shagiri, and try playing traditional Japanese instruments, including the Surigane, which are rarely encountered. The presentation will be explained clearly using slides.

Perform with real taiko drums!

After practice, you can perform along with real taiko drums and experience the powerful atmosphere of Shagiri. The local staff will provide detailed instructions on how to play, making it enjoyable for people of all ages, from children to adults.

At the end of the experience, take a commemorative photo with the locals of Mishima City!

We hope you'll come back to Mishima and experience the excitement of the Mishima Grand Festival!
