Namahage Museum

Reviewed By Seaview5

An excellent museum. Our guide had given us a translation of the dramatic re-enactment in store for us when we entered the house. We had to remove our shoes and those unable to sit on the floor were able to stand at the back. After this realistic presentation of the New Year’s Eve happenings in this part of Japan, we went into the main museum next door and, first of all, watched a short film showing a real occasion. The purpose of the visit from these ogres is meant to be educational but the look of terror on the faces of the children was, in our opinion, upsetting. Within the museum was a wide array of costumes and masks and, at the entrance, you could see a craftsman making a mask. Also on this beautiful site is a Shinzan Shrine, which is apparently a key aspect of the Namahage Sedo Festival.
