About this event
At the Spring Festival held at Hirota Shrine, traditional Daidai Kagura is performed. Daidai Kagura is known as a particularly solemn and sacred dance among Kagura styles, performed to pray for bountiful harvests and regional peace. This festival is an important Shinto ritual celebrating the arrival of spring and offering gratitude to the deities, cherished as a traditional community event since ancient times. On the day of the event, alongside the performance of Daidai Kagura, a dedicated Tai Chi martial arts demonstration is scheduled, allowing visitors to enjoy both the solemn atmosphere of Kagura and a powerful, graceful performance. In the pleasant spring season, this presents a valuable opportunity to quietly appreciate Kagura and connect with regional culture at historic Hirota Shrine.
