Akita Katagami Namahage Costume Experience

At the experience facility in Katagami City, you can wear an actual namahage costume. Drape yourself in a straw cape (kede) weighing over 10kg and don an impressive demon mask, and you'll feel completely like a namahage. Practice the signature chant 'Are there any crying children?' and take commemorative photos. This is a cultural experience that reveals, through actually wearing it, just how intricately crafted the namahage costume is.
