Esashi Oiwake Hall / Esashi Dashi Hall

4.0

Esashi oiwake is music or poetry sung in praise of the people born and raised in the harsh surroundings of the northern lands. Esashi Oiwake Hall was built in 1982 in order to preserve this local culture. Inside the hall are rooms to practice singing, informative displays about esashi oiwake as well as a seminar room where you can learn all about this art. You can also see the floats used during the Togyosai ceremonial procession from Ubagami Daijingu Shrine. To get to Esashi Oiwake Hall takes about one and a half hours by car from Hakodate and about two hours by bus from JR Hakodate Station.

北海道最古の夏祭りに使われる山車を展示

江差町の市街地を通る国道２２８号線ぞいの江差町役場の隣に、こちらの江差追分会館と江差山車会館がありました。江差山車会館には、ここを訪れる前に私たちが訪れた姥髪大神宮の渡御祭に使われる２台の山車が展示されていました。このお祭りは、今から３７０年前から続いているという、北海道最古の夏祭りなんだそうです。
