Kokubunji Festival (Yakushi Great Ritual)

国分寺まつり(薬師大法要)
The Yakushi Great Memorial Service is held every year on the first Saturday of November. In the Saito Goma altar, which is built up high with firewood and twigs, the wish-burning goma is ignited, and it is said that by receiving the virtues of the principal deity Yakushi Nyorai, who is invited into the flames, one can gain benefits such as disaster prevention, cure for illness, eye disease cure, prevention of dementia, traffic safety, business prosperity, household safety, matchmaking success, and fortune enhancement. The highlight is walking barefoot over the remnants of the Saito Goma offering, which many people participate in. Let's join this event to experience various blessings.
