*The details for 2024 will be announced later. Wearing only a lower belt, men gather to liven up the festival with activities such as mizukori, climbing the hitaki tree, and contest for the Sominbukuro (bukuro twist). Children participate in the procession wearing demon masks on their backs, and worshipers take home Komagi from Sominbukuro as talismans. Shojin ryori is served to the general public. In particular, ``Ofudo-san's Kenchinjiru'' has been very popular and is enjoyed by everyone every year.
