This lively, traditional festival has been held since the era of the Samurai.
A total of 3,000 people, including young men in loincloths carrying portable shrines, children in traditional costumes, and courtesans, parade through the area of Tenmonkan's Tram Street to pray for the eradication of disease and prosperity of business.

In addition to the display of portable shrines and floats from the festival eve, gospel live performances, taiko drum performances, live jazz performances, and stamp rallies on three stages in the city will help build up the excitement for the main festival.
