About this event
The "Iwami Kagura Takachiho Performance" will be held in Takachiho Town, Miyazaki Prefecture. This is an opportunity to experience "Takachiho Night Kagura," which is designated as a National Important Intangible Folk Cultural Property. You can witness authentic kagura sacred dance, said to originate from Ame-no-Uzume no Mikoto dancing before the heavenly rock cave when the sun goddess Amaterasu Omikami hid inside. In Takachiho Town, known as the homeland of Japanese mythology, you can come into contact with the mystical world of kagura passed down since ancient times.
