It currently takes place on February 11 at the Hama in front of the T\u014dshinjimyo-g\u016b and Nishi-shimimyo-g\u016b, which are located at the Azuki no Hama. There are many rituals dedicated, such as the \"Shinmei Dance\" and the \"Longer J\u014dge\". Among them, young people called \"Nakeb\u014d\" set up a sacred body \"Shinmei\" of about 20m in the early morning, and \"Hayashita\" at night, which sets fire on Shinmei and burns it with red, are impressive. Finally, the burning Shinmei is defeated, and the decorations and coins at the tip that have a benefit are taken away.
