Wakamiya Hachiman Shrine Autumn Festival, Naked Festival

In addition to various stage events, there will be many food and drink vendors, making it a festival created by the citizens. On the 17th (Sunday), runners from both inside and outside the city will gather for the "43rd Bungo Takada Fureai Marathon."

A millennial traditional event that prays for a fertility of five grains and a disease-free disaster. It leaves an unusual form of "welcoming the ancestors who showed up as demons". At its peak, it becomes a fire festival in which Akaoni and Kuro Oni wield torches and sparks fly. Designated as a National Important Intangible Folk Cultural Property. Avoid nylon clothes because there is a case of burning with the fire of the torch.

A traditional event that continues from the mid-Edo period to celebrate the New Year. Depart from Kotohira Palace downstream on a Horai boat and aim for Wakamiya Hachiman upstream. When approaching the shore, the audience is filled with red-white luck cakes from the ship. Also, when a celebration is offered by the audience, it is spectacular for young people to jump into the cold river to receive it. It is designated as the Oita Prefectural Intangible Cultural Property.
