The annual festival is held on the grounds of the shrine and in the center of town, and various performing arts are performed. There are four floats that parade through the town, and each one is worth seeing. Also, the mikoshi (portable shrine) made entirely of cypress made in Kyoto during the Kansei era is gorgeous. The shopping street in the center of town is crowded with many food stalls.
