Business Overview

Satokagura is the oldest folk entertainment in Japan. The "Tokyo Kagurakko Project" is a project aimed at helping children in Tokyo become familiar with Japanese mythology, come into contact with traditional Japanese culture, and acquire the ability to communicate the charms of our country to the world with pride as a Japanese by learning Sato kagura. In this performance, children from Tokyo perform the world of "Kojiki" in the Kagura Hall of a shrine that has been in existence since the Kamakura period, together with the Kagura Shachu, which has a 300 year tradition.
