Step outside of the big city and connect with an ancient part of Japanese culture. Shizuka travels to Isehara to learn all about the performance art of Noh, experience a pilgrimage to Afuri Shrine, and of course, enjoy the delicious local food!
During the journey up to Afuri Shrine, Shizuka carried a “samedachi”, a large wooden charm representing a sword to offer at the shrine. At the end of the pilgrimage, Shizuka toasts to the gods and shares a special meal called “naorai”, complete with a glass of beer and a sweet matcha treat.

I always think of the 3 ninjas from my childhood when I see those masks. hahaha
One of the top places you've put out there for us to he aware of, didn't even know that place existed. We'll done, Shizuka!
I missed it yesterday. Yes you have a large spider on you. As you were walking up to this house, it looked extremely old to me. I wanted you to wear this monster mask. After doing the dance, she is hungry. She snapped her fingers and was at the dinner table. Custard looked yummy and absolutely love cheese. Yum shrimp. Delicious beef in soup. I. was fooled because I thought that was delicious sake you were drinking Bummer, was just water All aboard the cable car to the top of the mountain. Amazing views. Cheers with the beer. Absolutely Loved Every Minute And Your Laugh And Smile

"damn that was really good" yep sounds about right, exactly how I react all the time to food in Japan

A unique video by the team. Loved it. Shizuka san, please tell us how to eat all the good food like you and not put on any weight
Nice video, thanks for sharing!
Shizuka seems to have the best job in the world!
This was a lot of fun!
They say by far countless various top notch or attractive things or culture or foods exists
in somewhere island nation on this planet.
Which is it?
Just curious Shizuka. Do you practice Shintoism or Buddhism? I noticed the filming does require a fair bit or praying and worship. Or is it just more of a cultural thing, similar to if visiting Paris you might go into Notre Dame or the Vatican if in Rome? I guess what I'm getting at is do you have a faith? 😁 Or would you pray and worship at any site around the world to any God?
the hard stair climbs are rewarded with beautiful views and wonderful food, I'm lovin' it, the cable car looks fun too
Always enjoy how Shizuka interacts so respectfully within each cultured that is visited.
