Business Overview

Local performing arts are an irreplaceable part of local culture, and their inheritance and development is one of the issues for local governments. In conjunction with the Tama River, which is the biggest symbol of the Tama region, the local governments of the Tama River basin, including Tanbayama Village, Okutama Town, Hino City, Fuchu City, Kosuge Village, Tama City, Inagi City, Chofu City, and Komae City, will cooperate to hold the Tama River Basin Local Performing Arts Festival, in which local performing arts will compete, with the aim of promoting exchange between the Tama River basin and revitalizing each local government. In fiscal year 2024, a total of eight programs were performed: "Wadaiko" by the Daibosatsu Gokodaiko Preservation Society, "Shishimai" by Okuhikawa-jinja Shrine, "Hayashi" by the Honjuku Branch of the Fuchu-Bayashi Preservation Society, "Hayashi" by the Hino City Matsuribayashi Rengo, "Wadaiko" by the Tama Japanese Drum Association, "Wadaiko" by Inagi-daiko, "Hayashi" by the Shimofuda Hayashi-Rengo of the Chofu City Local Performing Arts Festival Hayashi Preservation Society, and "Ohayashi" by the Tamagawa Hayashi Preservation Society.

Profile

[Tama River Basin Folk Performing Arts Festival Executive Committee]
The Tama River Basin Folk Performing Arts Festival Executive Committee was established in 2000, the 30 year anniversary of Komae City's establishment, with the Raft Race Executive Committee playing a central role in deepening exchanges between Kosuge Village, Tanbayama Village, and Okutama Town in Yamanashi Prefecture through the "Komae Kodai Cup Tama River Raft Race," a summer tradition of Komae. At the Tama River Basin Folk Performing Arts Festival, local performing arts that make use of the characteristics of each participating municipality are presented and introduced, and local specialties are introduced in the form of product exhibitions, in an effort to convey the appeal of the region.
