God Fire Festival

God Fire Festival

Event Overview

In order to quell the rage of Mount Chausu, which erupts over and over, he came to the Nasu Onsen Shrine to collect the fire of Infernal Hell and to worship it as the god fire, and since then, he has been a event to pray for a disease-free disaster and a good harvest. The whole body with nine tails is a golden-colored inu who worked all sorts of misdeeds, but was exterminated in Nasu, the land of the "nine-tailed fox legend", a historical site. A fantastic fire festival with the sound of the sacred fire and the white-faced Kin Kuo taiko. The flame of the torch, in which the participants of the white costume make a torch procession and light the sacred fire, is a masterpiece.
