Kawachi Festival

Kawachi Festival

The Kawachi Festival is a traditional festival carried out by five districts along the Kozagawa River
(Koza, Furuta, Takaike-shimobe, Utsuki and Tsukinose)
as its bearers.

The Koza district at the river mouth has formed a community centered on fishing, while the other districts in the mountains center on forestry and farming. Once a year, these areas with different characters gather together at Kawachi Shrine (Kawachi-sama) and each holds the ritual in its own way, a rarely seen format of this "Japan Heritage" festival.
