Yufuin Film Festival

A historic hot spring festival that has been held for 147 years in a hot spring ryokan town. The venue is the stone-paved street that has been around since the Edo period, where local residents and tourists come together to express gratitude for the blessings of the hot springs. Performers related to the region, such as Yuhira Children's Kagura and Yufuin Genryu Taiko, take the stage, allowing people of all ages to enjoy the extraordinary experience of the festival.

A festival to thank the hot springs that began in 1950, with a variety of events such as the "Yufu Festival" to thank the rich bounty of Yufuin Onsen, the hot water kakuri race, and performances of traditional performing arts.

Shonai Kagura has been handed down since ancient times as a village kagura (kagura of common people), and has been passed on at a relatively early tempo, courageously, and sometimes humorously, and has gained popularity. In addition to the Shinrakuza in the town, which inherits Shonai Kagura, a Kagura group of local high school students will appear. The "Furusato Festival" is also held at the same time, and specialty products are also sold.
