The Opening Ceremony of the Yoro Falls
養老の滝開き式
At the plaza in front of Yoro Falls, a sutra chanting and incense offering ceremony is held to pray for safety during the summer holiday season. After that, a Shugendo monk shoots a sacred arrow to ward off evil spirits and throws wooden prayer sticks with written wishes into a large bonfire. Finally, bamboo sake is served to visitors.
There will also be a handheld firework attraction.
