Takachiho Night Kagura Sightseeing

At Takachiho Shrine, a night kagura performance lasting approximately one hour is dedicated every evening from 8 PM. Based on the Japanese mythology of Amaterasu hiding in the Heavenly Rock Cave, these performances enchant audiences beneath fantastical lighting, transporting them into the world of ancient Japanese myth. You can witness firsthand the traditional performing arts passed down through generations by local people, and experience the mystique of this mythological realm combined with the natural beauty of Takachiho Gorge.
