Chowa Town Furumachi Toyoke Grand Shrine Festival "Otaya Festival"
In the festival, each district Dedication a "festival float" that expresses a scene from an old tale, legend, or historical story. The theme changes every year, and each year is expressed almost in full size using handmade dolls. Although it is called a "festival float", it is not something that is towed or carried as is commonly imagined, but a "decorative mountain" that is created on five stages around the shrine. It assimilates with the surrounding scenery and makes you feel as if you have entered the story.
This year (2025), there are five venues: "Bunfuku Chagama Tightrope Walking", "Doseiji Temple: The Maiden Who Became a Great Serpent", "The Legend of the Nine-Tailed Fox (Tamamo-mae)", "Chushinzo Defeated", and "Komon Gang Traveling on Shinano Road".
Held in on January 14 and 15 every year, the shrine holds a reinforcing festival, a Urayasu dance dedication, and a dedication performance of the Yanaga and Fudo Drums. Stalls are lined up around the shrine, and fireworks are set off at night.
