★Donation period: Until January 20, 2026
This town’s Furumachi Toyoke Grand Shrine holds its annual festival, popularly known as the Otaya Festival, when decorative floats are offered at five locations around town.
In recent years, population decline and other factors have created challenges such as a shortage of people to make the floats, a lack of staff to run the event, and insufficient budgets.
To ensure the sustainability of the Otaya Festival fireworks for the future, we ask for your support!

Chōwa Town rice fields
The weather is nice again today. The sun is out, but the breeze feels like autumn. This is a lovely season as the landscape begins to change with the coming autumn foliage.
The rice paddies are gradually turning golden. I wonder if this year's harvest will come a little earlier...

Chowa Town Nakasan-do Eitai Jinba Service Station (Reception Hut)
Please do not litter
In Chowa Town and the Ueda area, instead of a "litter-free Jizo" there is a "litter-free little monk"?
It quietly stands in the parking area of the Eitai Jinba Service Station (Reception Hut) near Wada Pass.
This place was originally established by Kaseya Yohei of Edo Gofukucho, and it is said that, to ease the hardships of travelers crossing the pass, free porridge, campfires, and fodder for horses and people were offered.
