Yunosato Snow Festival "Hyakachi Light"

Yunosato Snow Festival "Hyakachi Light"

Event Overview

The "Hyakatan" (Hyakatan) is a traditional event in Oritate Onsen that continues from the early Edo period. It is performed by praying for "Inari Daimyojin" for a disease-free disaster and a good harvest of five grains. The surrounding snowy mountains rise fantastically to the light of the 108 straw that line the ridge, inviting them to a mysterious world. A snow stage is set up in the square every year, and there is a song show, a local sake, a sweet sake service, a freshly made rice cake of the specialty "6 people", and fireworks are also launched. * In 2025, the contents may be changed depending on the situation (inquiry required).
