About the 'faith' in Shiiba Village.
Visitors can experience the faith that lives on in Shiiba Village through seasonal festivals such as the Koshogatsu decorations, the mogura-uchi (mole-uchi) festival when the mountain cherry trees are in blossom, the kagura festival in early summer, the usudaiko dance from summer to autumn and the night kagura in late autumn and early winter.
