Shrine maiden dance is often performed at Shinto rituals and Shinto ceremonies, so I think many people have never seen it.

In other words, by dancing the shrine maiden dance, you can become one with the gods and nature. Shrine maiden dance is filled with the "feeling of respect for the gods" and "beautiful manners" that have been cherished by ancient Japanese people. For both Japanese and foreigners, it will be an opportunity to experience Japan's beautiful culture and learn about the spirituality that Japanese people have cherished. "Why do people find shrine maiden dance beautiful?" We will also look into the secret of its beauty. In this experience, a former professional shrine maiden instructor will carefully teach you the basics of shrine maiden dance.
