Designated as an Important Intangible Folk Cultural Asset of the nation, it is one of Japan's three major fire festivals. The scene of villagers trying to set fire to the shrine, which is over ten meters high, while 25-year-olds in their unlucky year try to prevent it to protect the shrine, and the grand finale where the pillar of fire in the shrine blazes up, is spectacular. Held on the same day every year Venue Baba-no-Hara (Yoko-Otori District)
