"Bura Tamori" (NHK General TV, Saturday 7:30 pm) is a popular variety show in which the entertainer Tamori visits various towns. On July 5th, he will continue from the previous week and explore the appeal of the Oyama pilgrimage, which became a huge hit among Edokko.

The setting for the trip is Mt. Oyama in Isehara City, Kanagawa Prefecture. It is a popular mountain visited by about 1 million people a year, and the Oyama Afuri Shrine on the mountain is crowded with many worshippers. This time, we will climb the mountain to pay our respects. Why did the firefighter, the "hero of Edo," come to Mt. Oyama? The secret lies in the formation of the steep mountain.

From the summit you can see a magnificent panoramic view. At the shrine in the sky, you will come across amazing giant votive offerings.

Tamori's travel partner will be NHK Hiroshima announcer Mana Sato, and the narration will be provided by singer-songwriter Aimyon.
