Hayachine Minetake Ryuseki Hatooka Kagura

Hanamaki City

Southern Iwate

The mountain worship that regards Hayachine Shrine as a sacred mountain has given rise to many schools of Yamabushi Kagura since the Kamakura period, and is now collectively known as Hayachine Kagura. Along with the Tsuchizawa Kagura of the Daikan-ryu, it has been designated as an Intangible Folk Cultural Property by Iwate Prefecture, and its ancient beliefs have been passed down to the present day in their original form, and the mystical music and dance transcend time and touch the hearts of viewers.

Enjoji Gate

This gate was originally made from the materials used for the main gate of Waga Futago Castle. Around 1614, the then lord of Hanamaki Castle, Nanbu Hikokuro Masanao, was working on constructing Hanamaki Castle, and he salvaged the materials and used the Sannomaru Karame handiwork. It was relocated to Enjoji-zaka, where it was originally located, and is called Enjoji-mon. It has been designated as a cultural property by the city.
