Narushima Mikumano Shrine

Yakushidake

Many people use the course to climb Mt. Yakushi (1,645m) on the south side, which is the opposite of the route from Odagoshi to Mt. Hayachine. Although the climb is almost direct, the mountainside is generally gentle. You can see granite outcroppings and light moss under the rocks in the forest zone of Aomori fir and other trees. As the tree height decreases, the forest zone changes to Japanese pine. Approximately 300 meters from the top of the mountain, there is a spectacular view of Seiwahige growing on the granite. There is also a course for descending the mountain that goes directly east from the summit and leads to Otagoshi Sanso.

Hayachine Kagura

Hayachine Kagura is the collective name for two Kagura zas: Take Kagura, the dedicated Kagura of Hayachine Shrine, and Otsugunai Kagura, the Dedicated Kagura of Taisai Shrine. Although there are no existing records, there is a gongen-gashira inscribed in 1595 at Hayachine Shrine in Takeno, and there is a Kagura denjosho dated 1488 for Taisaku Kagura. It is thought that its origins date back to the Nanbokucho period, and it is said to be an ancient form of kagura with a tradition of over 500 years. It is said that Gake Kagura and Daisaku Kagura are two sides of the same coin, and the programs are almost the same, with about 40 pieces each handed down. Gaku Kagura is based on five beats and specializes in the brave and lively ``aramai'', while Daisai Kagura is based on seven beats and specializes in slow and delicate ``onnamai''. It was designated as a national important intangible folk cultural property in 1976, and was registered as a UNESCO intangible cultural heritage in 2009.

Taroshi Falls

Large icicles are formed when the river water that flows into the Kuzumaru River freezes on the mountainside. It is said that local people have used the thickness of these icicles to predict the year's harvest, and measurements are taken every February 11th. [Measurement date] February 11th
