The main ritual of the festival is the archery ritual and it’s held on second day. Although the ritual doesn’t take much time, there are some rituals for preparation must be done. People has started having programs of dance, karaoke, kabuki etc to spend time. The age of performers is from 4 years old to over 80 so practically this festival is for all ages.

The first performers are from the Party of Aged People. They took about 1hour and half for their program, dance and karaoke. With the aging population, their time is sufficientely long.

Next is the Cultural Preservation Society. Women showed dance and men showed "Danmari" of Kabuki. Costumes and make-ups are done by profesional. Furthermore, the stage set as well awesome.

It is said that millions yen are spent for this festival. So, various people give Hana(donations).

 

The name of the person and amount of the donation are posted on the left and right of the stage. The men called "Shide-kata" write these papers. They used to work as Jutai who play​ ​the Lion Dance.​ ​

After that, the fishermen and their family danced, some people sang, some others played "Mother inside the eyelids". I was freezing after spending half day outdoors, so tomorrow I'm gonna protect myself more against cold.
