Hounengyo Dance
豊年踊り
A traditional Dengaku-style dance designated as an intangible folk cultural asset of Moriyama City in 1997. In the center are drummers and drum holders, surrounded by a circle of chorus leaders and young children who perform a dance offering in tune with the lyrics. The lyrics are the same as those of the Nagatofuri dance at Otsu Shrine, but the melody is slightly different. On May 4th, it starts from around Nakayama Road in the afternoon, and on the 5th, it parades around Yoshimi district from 11 AM.
