Sanno Festival (Hiyoshi Shrine’s Annual Festival)
The largest annual festival of a shrine in the Kuninaka area, dating back to the 13th century
Sanno Festival, with a history of 800 years, is a large-scale event held over three days. The Ondeko demon drumming team goes out to visit the Iuchi area on the first day, followed by every Ondeko team of Hiyoshi Shrine from the villages of Funashimo, Ono, and Niibo. Seven portable shrines from the seven Hiyoshi Shrines gather at the worship hall of Niibo Hiyoshi Shrine, and that is a spectacular sight. On the last day, young boys' Yabusame (horseback archery), Ondeko, and Sagariha (processional music accompaniment) are dedicated within the precinct of Niibo Hiyoshi Shrine. The idyllic Harigoma song and dance performance is also delivered.
