Hayachine kagura (早池峰神楽) is a ritual dance, or kagura, in Shinto ceremonies, which is composed of a series of twelve dances. It is performed on August 1 at Hayachine Shrine in Hanamaki, Iwate, Japan.^[1]

These dances are performed in honor of Seoritsu, tutelary deity of Mount Hayachine,^[2] to music of containing drums, cymbals and flutes. The first six dances (Torimai Bird Dance 鳥舞, Okina Old Man Dance 翁, Sanbasō Third Old Man Dance 三番叟, War God Hachiman Dance 八幡, Mountain God Yama no kami 山の神 Dance, Opening Dance of the rock cave Iwato biraki 岩戸)^[2] are ritualistic, the next five tell the medieval history of Japan and its deities (there are many different hypotheses on the constitution of the cycle of 12 dances).^[2] The dancers are masked.^[2] The final dance is performed by a shishi, a personification of the mountain god.

The dances are also performed at other times of the year and outside of the Hayachine Shrine, but rarely in the full cycle, which lasts five hours. Hayachine kagura "discipleship" shows are performed throughout Iwate Prefecture.^[2]
