Namahage is thought to be a deity from Mt.Shinzan with a demonic mask and straw coat.
They come to fix children's and wife-in-low's laziness with loring voices and sounds.
In this museum, you can witness various types of demonic masks and costumes depending on the area in the Oga peninsula.
Enjoy a short movie to learn about the Namahage ritual.

Ogashinzan Traditional Museum
This is a must-see spot in the Oga peninsula.
The realistic Namahage show can be seen in an old relocated farmers' house.
The show is played in the very local Akita dialect.
But you can feel Namahage talking with the head of the house so funny.
