Oga Shinzan Folklore Museum・Namahage Museum
”Oga no Namahage" is a traditional event of the Oga Peninsula, designated as a nationally important intangible folk cultural property and registered as a UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage. On the evening of New Year's Eve, people say, "Any lazy people out there? Any crybaby out there?" and walk from house to house to warn people of their misdeeds.
This place describes the ancient legends and cultural customs of the Oga Peninsula. Every New Year's Eve, there's a traditional event where locals wear demon masks and shout loudly. It's said that being startled brings good luck.
