Every year on the afternoon of the first Sunday in September, the bow is held at Kumano Shrine, and then the separate east and west roads are headed to Nojinyama, where the festival site is located. An old-fashioned ceremony is held at the festival hall, and the length of the potato is contested at the end. It has long been said that if the west wins, it will be a good harvest, and if the east wins, it will be a poor harvest.
