The Fujikoto-Kamiwaka Good Harvest Dance is performed as an offering at the annual Asama Shrine festival. As its name states, it is danced to pray for good harvests but also for the appeasement of the spirits of the ancestors. The lion dance here is danced by three lions, each performed by one person with a small drum at the waist. On the day before the festival, the performance is delivered on the premises of the shrine to appease the spirits of the ancestors. On the day of the festival, one group of performers makes a daimyo’s procession to the shrine to bring out the mikoshi (divine palanquin), and the other group performs the music, lion dance, and horse dance while waiting for the mikoshi to arrive. Once the mikoshi arrives, the music and dance performers usher the mikoshi around the community.

藤琴上若丰作舞
这是作为于浅间神社的祭礼表演祭献舞蹈而举办的。如丰作舞的字面意思，主要祈祷五谷丰登，也作为供养祖先而表演的舞蹈。狮子舞是单人舞狮，由三只狮子敲打腰鼓的同时跳舞。宵宫祭当天在寺院的境内作为感谢祖先与慰灵而表演这个舞蹈，本祭当天早上最先轮到的年轻组以大名行列的形式前往神社迎接神轿，后轮到的年轻组则以囃子方与狮子舞、驹舞等排成队伍等待神轿的巡幸，会和之后走在队伍的前头。
