During the festival, people pray for good health, fortune, prosperity in business, and academic success, as they sprinkle the sacred water contained in blue bamboo leaves on worshippers and visitors. The sight of the hot spring cart parading through the hot spring town, accompanied by the resonant sounds of traditional songs, is a unique spring spectacle of Yahiko. The steam from the hot springs and the warmth of the people gently envelop the entire hot spring town, allowing everyone to feel the beginning of spring through all five senses, a traditional event unique to Yahiko.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":9,"featured_media":183080,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"ep_exclude_from_search":false},"categories":[77],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-189814","travelpost","type-travelpost","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-event"],"acf":[],"permalink_manager":null,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.allway-japan.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/travelpost\/189814","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.allway-japan.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/travelpost"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.allway-japan.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/travelpost"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.allway-japan.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/9"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.allway-japan.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/travelpost\/189814\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.allway-japan.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/183080"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.allway-japan.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=189814"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.allway-japan.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=189814"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.allway-japan.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=189814"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
