This kagura belongs to the Higo kagura lineage. According to the origin story passed down at the shrine, on September 25, 1871, the Ujiko decided to perform the Kagura as a prayer for the happiness and prosperity of the villagers. With the cooperation of the shrine staff of Hazama "Oshichi-tsubo" and the chief priest of Kitamiya Shrine as instructors, the first Kagura group (kagura ren) was formed with 16 performers. 　There are now eight dances to music of flutes and drums: Sakaki-mai, Shide-mai, Kome-mai, Kyuken-mai, Yumi-mai, Tsurugi-mai, Uta-mai, and Jigatame-mai. Kijin-mai and Saba-mai were performed in the past. 《composition》　2 drums, 2 flutes, 6 dancers
