Iwami Kagura, a traditional performing art passed down through generations, is a ceremonial dance dedicated to the gods dwelling in nature to pray for abundant harvests and bountiful catches. Watching night kagura will be a solemn and precious experience. The workshops of the "artisans" who support kagura are also must-see attractions.
