In 2018, UNESCO recommended that Japan's “Raiho-shin(visiting gods), rituals of deities in masks and costumes” be registered as human intangible cultural heritage. From Namahage in Akita Prefecture to Toshidon in Miyakojima and Pantu in and Kagoshima, the most representative events of visiting gods are organized throughout Japan. In the Raiho-shin event, a strange-looking god goes around each house, blesses people, and warns lazy people. Such rituals solidify the unity of the region and pass on generations and it strongly embraces the identity of the region. Furthermore, after the UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage Registration Recommendation, it may be functioning as tourism content that represents the region. Although they were taken to different places at different times in each region, the number of tourists is increasing every year in order to view and participate in Raiho-shin rituals, which has a great impact on the tourism industry in that region. There was not much participation of outsiders due to the influence of covid 19 this year, but rather, in these disaster situations, discussions focused on the use of these rituals as a measure to strengthen the cohesiveness of the local community.
