This video captures “Yaotome-no-Mai”, a sacred shrine maiden dance filmed on June 1, 2017,
at Miho Shrine, located in Mihonoseki, Matsue City, Shimane Prefecture, Japan.

Traditionally, “Yaotome-no-Mai” is performed by eight miko (shrine maidens)—hence the name “Yaotome” meaning “eight maidens.”
In this particular ritual, two shrine maidens gracefully perform the dance, offering it with reverence and poise.

Holding kagura-suzu (sacred bells), they move with calm precision, filling the shrine with purity and spiritual resonance.
The beauty of the dance, ever-changing with the seasons and light, is a quiet yet profound expression of devotion.

To everyone who has continued to watch and support this video over time,
thank you sincerely. If you ever visit Japan, we hope you’ll experience the timeless spirit of Miho Shrine for yourself.

Miko-Kagura refers to a traditional sacred dance performed by miko (shrine maidens) as part of Kagura, a ritual of music and dance dedicated to the deities of Shinto.
