- Be sure to witness the gathering of the portable shrines from the morning through the afternoon of the 3rd Sunday of October.
- The powerful 'Oasobi' performances, such as sword dancing and the lion dance, are essential highlights.
- The 'Goshinko' (the moment the mikoshi are lined up and raised together) is the most iconic and breathtaking moment of the festival.
- We highly recommend visiting the Omatsuri Kaikan (Festival Hall) to deepen your understanding of the history through the displayed artifacts and videos.
