A small, local festival held to celebrate the girls who sacrificed themselves to save the village from the disasters of the Yodo river (now the Nakatsu river).

It takes place on February 20th every year and maintains the traditional style of the time. It has been designated an Intangible Folk Cultural Asset of Osaka prefecture and is a great small festival to attend.
