肩鎧を激しく顔にぶつけて踊る印象深い踊り。今から400年ほど前、秋田藩主佐竹候の秋田への国替えが起源とされる。騎馬武者が戦う場面を表現している「駒踊り」、三匹の獅子が強く美しく舞う「獅子踊り」の他、「奴踊り」「棒使い」などで構成され、大名行列をかたどって町内を練り歩く。町の中心部を境にした「上若郷土芸能保存会」「志茂若郷土芸術会」の二つの会で伝承されている。毎年、藤琴浅間神社祭典の9月7日（宵宮）と9月8日（祭典）に披露されている。（秋田県指定無形民俗文化財）

Fujikoto Hosaku Dance is an impressive display in which performers aggressively hit their faces with their shoulder armour. The origin of this dance is said to be the time when Satake was relocated to Akita to become the feudal lord. This performance is composed of various forms of dance, such as the “Koma Odori” which depicts battles between mounted warriors, “Shishi Odori” where three Shishis (lions) dance powerfully and beautifully, “Yakko Odori,” and “Bou-Tsukai.” These dancers march around the town with the formation of the daimyo’s (feudal lord’s) procession. This dance was handed down orally by two communities bounded by the centre of the town: “Kamiwaka Kyodo Geino Hozon-kai” and “Simowaka Kyodo Geijutsu-kai” Every year, this festival is held on September seventh and eighth, the seventh being Yoimiya, an eve celebration that lasts the whole night. (This event is designated as intangible folk cultural property by Akita prefecture.)
