Women play the leading role s in dance and Taiko drumming. In the parade, a powerful drum performance that is in perfect order is followed by an elegant dance. Sansa dance has a Guinness record in “Largest Japanese Drum Ensemble”. I am so sorry to say that you do not need to get any paid seat tickets in advance because the powerful parade can be seen from anywhere.
As soon as I get off Morioka Station, the dance is taking place in front of station. I saw the traditional Sansa dancing with a slow and graceful tone by chance.
Sansa dancing festival and food may make you feel some influence from Korean culture, for example, Five colors in the clothes, noodles, grilled meat.
Let’s go out early and participate in a free dance class held at the prefecture hall. In Sansa Festival the beginners welcome to the circle of dancing.
Detour (with Beer !)
