Hinokiba Matsuri

Praying for abundant harvests - A festival full of humor
Originating in the Kamakura period, the 'Hinokiba Matsuri' is a unique festival that combines Shinto and Buddhist traditions to pray for bountiful harvests, boasting a 700-year history. The highlight of the Hinokiba Matsuri is the 'Otaue Shiki'. This is a humorous performance of traditional rice planting practices, where performances that lazily depict rice cultivation elicit harsh yet amusing comments from the audience.
