Reference Data:

Once you've spent a little time roaming the village and shrines of Takachiho , it becomes apparent that the town takes its high standing in Japanese mythology very seriously. The Amano Iwato Kagura dances form a core part of festivities celebrating this mythology and is held at Amano Iwato shrine . Kagura is also performed at Takachiho shrine.

The 33 dances depict the legendary tales of Japan's mysterious past. The Amano Iwato kagura is number 33, or the final one.  It retells the story of the sun goddess, Amaterasu. She hid in a cave and deprived the world of light until a series of lively and slightly erotic dances lured her from the cave. In the process, she returned light to the world.
