Folk performing arts passed down at Yokohama's oldest shrineThe Rice-Field Festival, a tradition preserved in Tsurumi Ward, Yokohama City, is a simple preliminary celebration in which people sing and dance to the tune of “Kami Hogiuta,” a song with elegant lyrics and verses, to pray for a bountiful harvest and prosperity for their descendants in the coming year. It has been handed down since before the Kamakura period (1185-1333), but was discontinued in the 4th year of Meiji (1871) due to the wave of civilization and enlightenment that followed the Meiji Restoration. It is based on the traditions handed down by elderly people longing for the days of old. The chief priest of Tsurumi Shrine, the Tsurumi History Association, local volunteers, and intellectuals cooperated to unearth the “Kami Hogiuta” and a map of the festival from old documents that had been lying dormant in the storehouse of an old family home. After observing and training at the Mishima-taisha shrine's otauchi ceremony and at a rice-field playing ceremony in Itabashi Ward, Tokyo, which is said to have spread from Tsurumi, and seeking guidance from a folklore specialist, the festival was revived in 1987 for the first time in over 110 years. Since then, on April 29 (Showa Day) every year, the performance is held in the precincts of Tsurumi Shrine, using imitation hoes, sickles, and other implements to enact a series of rice farming activities from the spring plowing to the harvesting of rice. Children also play the roles of oxen and maidens who prepare the rice paddies, and the unique dances of sacred horses and clowns excite the audience, making the festival an enjoyable experience. The entire community participates in the festival with brass band performances by local junior high school students, soran dancing by elementary school students, and booths by neighborhood associations, welfare facilities, and groups, all of which help to enliven the festival and create a lively and vibrant town while striving to pass on traditional culture.ホームページ ▶ https://tsurumijinja.jp/開催日：毎年4月29日場所：鶴見神社境内電車：JR鶴見駅より徒歩３分・京急鶴見駅より徒歩4分鶴見神社045-501-4122Date： April 29 every yearPlace: Precincts of Tsurumi ShrineTrain: 3-min. walk from JR Tsurumi station, 4-min. walk from Keikyu Tsurumi stationTsurumi Shrine 045-501-4122伝統文化の復活を導いた郷土愛で田祭りを次世代へ伝える。Passing on the rice field festival to the next generation through the love of their hometown, which led to the revival of traditional culture.横浜最古の神社に伝わる民俗芸能横浜市鶴見区に伝わる田祭りは、古雅な歌詞と節回しの「神（かみ）寿歌（ほぎうた）」に合わせて歌い踊り、その年の豊作と子孫繁栄を祈願する素朴な予祝行事である。鎌倉時代以前から伝えられてきたが、明治維新後の文明開化の波に押され、明治4年を最後に廃絶した。往時を懐かしむ古老の伝承から鶴見神社宮司、鶴見歴史の会、地元有志、識者たちが協力して、旧家の蔵に眠っていた古文書から「神寿歌」や祭礼図などを発掘し、三嶋大社のお田打ちや鶴見から伝播したと伝える東京都板橋区の田遊びなどを見学・研修し、民俗学の専門家のご指導も仰ぎ、昭和62年に110余年ぶりに復活再興することができた。以来、毎年4月29日（昭和の日）に鶴見神社境内で、模造の鍬や鎌などを使って春の田起しから刈り入れまでの米作りの一連の農作業を演じている。田ならしをする牛役や早乙女役で子供たちも活躍し、神馬や道化などのユニークな踊りで観客を沸かせ、楽しい祭りとなっている。地元中学生の吹奏楽演奏、小学生のソーラン踊り、町内会、福祉施設・団体が参加する模擬店など、地域全体でまつりを盛り上げながら、伝統文化の継承に努めると共にまちの賑わいと活力を生み出している。田遊び横浜市地域無形民俗文化財ここが見どころ !神奈川県／横浜市 Yokohama City, Kanagawa Prefecture12712700※掲載されている情報は、令和7(2025)年12月末現在の情報であり、お出かけの際には、事前に最新情報をご確認下さい。 *The information provided is current as of the end of December 2025 (Reiwa 7).
