Updated Nov 11Source ↗ jonangu.com

Jonangu's Yudate Kagura is led by a shrine maiden in a tasuki sash, who scatters hot water from a great cauldron inscribed in 1823 with bamboo leaves, driving away evil and praying for freedom from illness and the fulfillment of wishes. The kagura is held in a special enclosure before the main hall, and visitors may watch freely; afterwards the shrine presents lucky bamboo grass.
