仲塔神楽 について

In the past, festival lodges were rotated annually, and the decision was made after discussions during the year. Narashi (dance lessons) lasted from one week to ten days and were held at night in two separate locations.
Two shrine deities, Yakushi and Tenjin, are enshrined side by side on Yakushi Mountain. Yakushi-sama was first enshrined here in the old days when a mountain ascetic carried it over the pass from Gokase and built a hall to enshrine it, hence the name Naka-to from Naka-no-do. It is said that in the past, the five villages of Okumura, Kiura, Gomayama and Zaimoku together worshipped and performed Kagura (Shinto music and dance), but later they were divided to carry out the rituals.
