Yokozen Kabuki

Edo-period farmers' kabuki tradition still performed in Nagi

Yokozen Kabuki is Nagi's local farmers' kabuki tradition, handed down from the Edo period and recognised by Okayama Prefecture as an important intangible folk cultural asset. It is not always something you can see on demand, so check performance dates before building a trip around it.

If the timing works, it gives Nagi a cultural depth that most rural day trips do not have. The autumn performances are the main draw.
