Every year on May 3rd, the traditional Hayase Children’s Kabuki takes place. This boys’ elementary school children’s kabuki has been passed down for about 150 years. It is said to have started when kabuki performances by children were offered at local temples and shrines in Hayase to appease a cholera outbreak during the Edo period.
Hayase Children’s Kabuki
Date and time: Saturday, May 3, 2025 (National Holiday) from around 8:30 AM
Location: In front of Hayase Hiyoshi Shrine and in front of Zuirin-ji Temple
20-24 Hayase, Mihama Town, Mikata District, Fukui Prefecture (Zuirin-ji)
After the children’s kabuki is offered in front of Hiyoshi Shrine, the float will be pulled to Zuirin-ji Temple where another children’s kabuki offering will take place. Because the schedule depends on the conditions of the day, we cannot provide exact times. If you plan to watch the children’s kabuki, please keep your morning free and come early.

Although the King’s Dance is said to be offered around 4:00 p.m., the timing often shifts because of shrine rituals. Even if you only want to see the King’s Dance, we recommend arriving at Oda Shrine by early afternoon and keeping your evening free.
