Annual festival at Tochiya Yasaka Shrine
Annual festival at Tochiya Yasaka Shrine held on the last Sunday in July. This year (2008), it was held on 27th July featuring the spectacular parade of three big floats (Kasaboko) from three blocks in the community, Kamigumi, Nakagumi and Motogumi, which got together for the first time in six years. Everyone gathered round to pass down traditional culture of their local community, making the festival dynamic and powerful with their full energy of life. Everyone plays a starring role at the summer festival, and it's their smile which becomes heritage of the community.
