OVERVIEW

Traditionally every year on the 29th and 30th of July a summer festival takes place at Arie Onsen Shrine. The main event happens on the 29th, where participants pray for good health and the stalls in the shrine’s compound sell their goods. On the stage, local artists perform live and many participants proudly show their vocal talent at the karaoke competition. A lottery and other fun activities contribute to create an even more festive atmosphere. This summer festival has been very popular amongst its town people since old times.
