As tradition dictates, the annual Maisō Festival will be held on January 14th on the grounds of Mii Shrine in the Oya district of Yabu city.
Celebrated every year on the same date, this Japanese traditional ceremony from Yabu gathers the community to ward off evil spirits and pray for good health in the coming year.
Participants carry torches lit by the Shinto priest and beat the wooden shield of a masked ogre to the sounds of the Japanese drum.
Visit us in Yabu, a picturesque rural mountain town in Hyogo, to witness this unique fire festival. Drive away the demons and attract health and wealth in 2025!
