A UNESCO-recognized, 700-year-old all-night kagura ritual in the mountain hamlets of Toei Town, where masked dancers perform around a boiling cauldron to purify the community and invite the new year. Individual hamlets host their own nights from November through January, with several performances falling in early December.
