This is a festival honoring the Koyasu Enmei Jizo, a large stone Buddha enshrined about 170 years ago. The massive statue, standing 2.88 meters tall with a 1.1-meter seat and a lotus pedestal circumference of 7 meters, is cherished by citizens as a symbol for wishing children's healthy growth due to its depiction cradling a child. At the festival held every August, participants recite the 'Hyakumanben Nembutsu' prayer, wishing for the health and happiness of their loved ones. Please visit Awashima Park, bring your hands together in prayer. The Buddha sits serenely in the spacious park. Date: August 23, 2025 Location: Awashima Park
