Hot pot crown festival

Hot pot crown festival

Event Overview

It is designated as an intangible folk cultural property of the city of Maibara at the Chikuma Shrine's spring festival. It has a tradition dating from the Heian period, and is known as the pot-pong festival because eight girls in hunting clothes join the fogging procession of hot pots and kettles. As the procession continues towards Chikuma Shrine at the end point, it is better for onlookers to see on the Lakeshore Road.
