■■■ What is Ontake Kagura
The Ontake Kagura passed down in Kiyokawamachi is said to have begun in 1449, at the same time as the founding of Ontake Shrine.
It has been handed down for a long time, and Kagura in this tradition is performed in Oono, Naoiri, Ken Nan, and as far as the Aso region. In 2007 it was designated a National Important Intangible Folk Cultural Property.
