The city of Enma is a yearly event in Kashiwazaki, which has been around for more than 200 years since the Edo period. Many street stalls, mainly food such as takoyaki and okonomiyaki, and toys, are located around Honmachi Street, where Enma-do is located, for about 2km. This city is counted as one of Niigata's three largest high cities, "Takamachi/Fera", and is rated as Ozeki, the highest ranking in Japan, because of the number of stalls, traditions and formalities.
