Maya Festival ~ Mayayama Haruyama Opening ~

Event Overview

Beginning in the Edo period, there was an unusual custom in which people from the Kongo residence took their horses to visit the Tenjo-ji temple on the first day of February in the lunar calendar, prayed for the disaster of the mannage, decorated the flower kanzashi on the horse, and returned with Maya kelp as a souvenir. It is now held as a function that also serves as the "Mayasan Haruyama Hashi", where draped horses are invited from the Rokkosan Ranch to offer rape flowers and pray for disaster and safety.
