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.
A festival that appreciates a good harvest with a tradition of more than 900 years. It will be held for three days close to October 14-16 in the lunar calendar. On the first day and the last day, a young man in a lock-in form performs the river passing of the Shinkoshi, and at the same time ignites a large torch with a fire arrow from the top of the bridge. A large drum is beaten on the water stage.
