Kenketo Festival

Kenketo Festival

Event Overview

The festival is set at Suginogi Shrine in the district and local shrines. Nobunaga Oda, a flamboyant, was very pleased that the local people had served and won during the Kōga attack, and held a spree. It is said to be the "Kenketo dance" and "Kenketo festival" because he beat and danced a drum and while wearing his armor off. Boys from 10 to 20 years old in the district participate. In particular, "pendulum" (mainly high school students) wearing colorful costumes perform at the shrine is a must. Throwing a naginata overhead high, flying or swinging around, he shows off his individual virtuosity in front of a large crowd. Image courtesy: Ryuo Town Tourism Association
