Gokayama Mugiya Festival五箇山麦屋祭り
The Gokayama Mugiya Festival, held in the fall at the Shimonashijiju Shrine in Taira District, Nanto City, celebrates a successful harvest with traditional dances and songs like Mugiya Odori and Mugiya-bushi. It is said that these songs originated from Heike clan warriors who had fled the capital city and longed for its past glory. After watching the performance on stage, audience members can join in a round dance and take part in the celebration.
