The 'Mitsunari Atago Festival' (三成愛宕祭) is held in the Mitsunari district of Okuizumo Town (奥出雲町), Nita District (仁多郡), Shimane Prefecture, a land known for tatara ironmaking and Nita rice (仁多米) (held August 24, 2026). This one-day course centers on the festival day (August 24, 2026), a tradition carried on deep within the lush Chugoku Mountains.

This course lets you experience the nature and traditional culture of the Chugoku Mountains, along with a local festival, all in a single day.
