This event is accompanied by the vibrant sounds of babies, praying for health and good fortune. Local sumo wrestlers hold the babies for competition. It has now become a summer tradition of the Hara region. The venue is filled with the happy cries of babies. This year, there will also be a children's parade. A handmade bazaar, food stalls, modern street vendors, games, and activities like Hakuin taiko drumming are planned. Applications start on March 1 and close once the quota (200 people) is reached.
