Koshi Fire Festival
2023.03.11 古志の火まつり ファイナル — 祈りの炎、永遠に ―The greatest Sai no Kami deity festival in Japan for wishing for good health and good recovery is hot enough to burn the heavens themselves!
A festival in which the greatest "Sai no Kami "of Japan, at a towering height of 25m, is ceremonially burned. In this traditional ceremony, people build up the Sai no Kami from grass and hay, and burn the conical structure in order to wish for good health and an abundant harvest for that year. After the fire is lit, an ethereal world is created through the combination of a pillar of fire that dances to 50m in height over the pure-white field, and the fireworks that color that same snowy setting. In addition, there is Japan's only Bull-Fight in the Snow event, along with a temporary alpaca petting ranch, a "village" of tents featuring local specialties, a stage show, and many other colorful events and attractions to keep guests enjoying the snow.
