なまはげ柴灯祭りの日に伺いました。まず入館時に隣の「男鹿真山伝承館」との共通入場券(1,080円-里暮らし体験塾も付いてました)を購入するか？を聞かれます。予約できる時間を案内され、この日は遅くて最終回17:30～（18時には終わっていました）があり、時間までゆっくり展示を拝見しました。地域ごとのなまはげが110体ズラリと並ぶホールは大迫力！！お面作りの実演もありました。あと面白かったのが、変身... more »

Asked on the day of the Lantern Festival of namahage Shiba. First that common entrance and next to the OGA mayama denshokan (1080 Yen-did with village life experience school) or to buy? Will be asked. Time can be reserved and the slower these days final 17:30-(was over by 6 pm) and time slowly saw the exhibit. Namahage region 110 bodies and pillared Hall is large and powerful! There was surface making demonstrations. More interesting is the makeover corner. Taking Smartphone offers me the Festival prior to their baldness. Good memories. The SAT is cold towards a shinzan Shinto shrine and extended opening hours on this day, at 18 o'clock. I was here.

　　なまはげ伝承館とは異なり、こちらは、かなりの近代的な建物になっています。１５分の画像は、なまはげの過去の伝統を見せてくれますし、２００体のなまはげは、地域によって異なったなまはげのお面を紹介してくれます。 more »

Namage look rather scary for children, but there is great story behind that. To get here is kind of expensive if you dont have a car since the only option is taking the taxi which cost 4.000 yen one way from the nearest station. You can also watch Namahage in action in this museum, and expect to see some children to get scared.

Extremely interesting museum which describes the history of Namahage tradition in Oga peninsula. The location is in the middle of nowhere/forest. Nice place but especially the plays how Namahage "actors" behave is interesting. Many similarities with Finnish Santa Claus behaviour in Christmas evening. Sugoku omoshirokatta!

Daily demonstrations were nice and English translation of the movie in the museum using your smartphone was a good touch.
