A national important intangible folk cultural property

"Te ho he, te ho he!", cry participants as they take part in a night-long Hana Festival, said to have begun during the ancient Kamakura and Muromachi periods by Yamabushi monks leading an ascetic life in the mountains.
Tsugu's Hana Festival is held annually on January 2 at a dance space below Shirotori Jinja Shrine, welcoming the gods, dispelling evil spirits, and praying for a bountiful grain harvest and prosperity throughout the village.
Festivities include a greater program of 24 dances from the Bachi Dance to the Shizume Dance, and a smaller program of 39 and religious ceremonies throughout the night.
