Asahi-Oka Park, a venue that has also been selected as one of Japan's top 100 historical parks, is known as one of the three largest cherry blossom spots in Saga Prefecture. During the cherry blossom festival, it is crowded with many flower visitors and you can also enjoy lighting up the cherry blossoms at night.
An exhibition and sale of local specialty items to be held at the shrine's collection hall in conjunction with the Yutoku Inari Shrine's Autumn Festival. They are lined with marine products such as kamaboko, nori, and the Ariake Sea mutsugorou, which is pickled in soy sauce and dried, as well as specialty products from Kashima, including the long-established pickle shop Nara. Sake and shochu are available from eight sake breweries in Kashima City, as well as interesting crafts such as backs and wallets woven at Kashima Jintao where you can also tour production demonstrations, and faces used for folk performing arts called "face floating". In addition, there is also a selection of tea from the neighboring city of Ureshino, and croquettes using bamboo crab caught in Tara-cho.
"Otaki" is a ritual on the night of the Autumn Festival, which is also the new festival on December 8, and is performed with gratitude and spirit for the god who rises to the mountain after the autumn harvest, relative to the spring prayer year. A 6m high "mountain" made in front of the main shrine, which is stacked with trees and surrounded by green bamboo, is ignited by the god fire of the shrine that was transferred to the torch. It is said that the disease will be healed and the sins and injuries committed will be exorcised and cleansed if it is hit by the blazing god fire, and many worshipers will visit with the hope of happiness in the coming year.

An event to interact between “maker” and “user” through the pottery city. In addition to the pottery city, where the sale of Yoshida-yaki ceramics is held immediately, the Rakuyaki experience (painting) corner is also set up, so you can get acquainted with Hizen-Yoshida-yaki.
The cherry blossoms are gregarious in the area around the pond which extends near the entrance gate and on the left side of the "Azalea Valley" under the cliffs of Mount Mifune. The light-up is based on the fantastic symmetry created by the water mirror of the flower and the pond, and the contrast with the cherry blossom garden that spreads at the base against the background of the rock surface of Mt. Cherry blossoms such as Yamazakura, Yoshino Yoshino, Oshima zakura and Yaezakura, 200,000 azaleas such as Mitsuba, Kurume and Hirado (Yodogawa), an estimated 170-year-old Oto near Hagino Ochaya, and a relay of flowers from early spring to early summer will be held.
At the evening festival on the first day, about 100 men in the form of a squeeze will perform the evening mikoshi. At the second day, the children procession, stage events, and the mikoshi made by each group will walk through the city.
