About this event
A traditional lion dance ritual where a tengu and a lion parade through the town from early morning, praying for family safety and prosperity. Boasting about 450 years of history, it visits each household. The highlight is the dance called 'Nerikomi', performed in front of the Fishery Cooperative during the day and at Shinmei Shrine at night. Held as a festival of Shinmei Shrine in Osatsu Town, the lion and tengu dances parade through the neighborhood all day long accompanied by shouts of 'Yaa! Hou! Haa!'.
