【黒仁田神楽】
  黒仁田神楽が保存継承されている黒仁田は、向山南地区に位置する、世帯数３６戸の集落である。お茶の生産を生業とする世帯が多く、集落の台地には茶園が広がり、室町時代末期に阿蘇家重臣として仕え、非業の死を遂げた黒仁田豊後守親子（くろにたぶんごのかみおやこ）を祭祀する黒仁田神社をはじめ、弁財天・薬師如来・六地蔵などの神仏が手厚く祭祀されている。
  黒仁田神楽は、日之影町岩井川系に属する神楽で、古くは諸塚村から日之影町の大人（おおひと）神楽を経由し、乙女（おとめ）・草仏（そうふつ）・尾狩（おがり）・黒仁田集落に伝えられたといわれる。その後、昭和初期に途絶えた神楽については、師匠が三田井系の神楽を習得し、取り入れている。

【Kuronita-Kagura】
Kuronita-Kagura has been preserved and inherited in Kuronita, which is a village of 36 households and located in Mukaiyama Minami District, Takachiho-cho. The tea fields spread over the land of the village, and the most of households are occupied by production of Japanese tea. There is Kuronita Jinja(Shrine) that enshrines the father and son of Kuronita-Bungonokami who had served as Aso family’s chief vassal and died an unnatural death in the late Muromachi period, as well as there are more statues of deities and Buddha such as Benzaiten, Yakushi-Nyorai and Rokujizo which are worshiped and adored by villagers.
Kuronita-Kagura belongs to the line of Iwaigawa-Kagura in Hinokage-cho. It was passed down to Otome, Sofutsu, Ogari and Kuronita villages, and anciently had been transmitted from Morozuka-son via Oohito-Kagura of Hinokage-cho. Afterwards the master of Kuronita-Kagura acquired and introduced some Kagura of the Mitai district, because some programs had been lost in the early Showa period,
