Sanda Seimon Barai

Sanda Seimon Barai

Event Overview

The "Sanda Akindo Matsuri," held every winter in front of Sanda Station, will be revived as "Sanda Seimon Barai" starting in 2025. "Seimon Barai" is a traditional event that has been grandly celebrated in the Sanda castle town since the Edo period, originating from the vow to "express gratitude for regular profits and pledge to serve without regard for profit on this day." It combines the charm of the former Seimon Barai with new attractions suitable for modern times, passing it down to the present. At Kippie Square, there will be many stage events including sales booths and dance music, as well as a Christmas present lottery. Additionally, there will be food stalls on the road in front of Sanda Station.
