A large traditional festival which welcomes summer, the festivities stretch over two days and contains some great unique performances.

On the second day is the Lion Dance before all characters and participants are joined together at the shrine for the climax of the festival. The unusual costumes and performances have been deemed an Intangible Folk Cultural Property and are unique to the area.
