Details
This comprehensive festival centers on ancient Shugendo practices where Yamabushi practitioners throw Goma sticks, bearing people's written wishes, into a fire to grant those desires. The event includes a secret fire-walking technique where participants walk barefoot over hot embers, believed to cure illnesses, promote health, and ward off misfortune. The festival serves as a treasure for fulfilling great aspirations and protecting against bad fortune.
