See ogres brandishing torches! An unusual festival of fire boasting about 500 years of traditionA festival of fire where a father ogre, mother ogre, and child ogre brandish torches burning wildly and drive disaster away from people. This is a traditional ceremony that is rare in Japan in that it involves ogres bringing good fortune. The ogres start to run at 9:00 p.m. They appear after events such as the reading of the sutras by priests and the Deva of Fire waving a torch at the kanji character for “water”. Be amazed at this strange scenery where three ogres run through the temple grounds scattering sparks as they become a sea of fire. There is also a daytime event where ogres can be seen running with unlit torches from 4:00 p.m. as well as a “gomaku” fire ritual from 7:00 p.m.Watch the tying of the giant “husband” and “wife” ropes in front of the gods -The “wedding” of the ropes rooted in legend-The Shinto ritual of Taasobi (“play in the rice fields”), held in the Ettsumi/Onishi area located to the north and south of the Hasegawa River, is performed to pray for a bountiful harvest and for the prosperity of one’s descendants. This festival is also known as the “wedding of the sacred ropes.” The “husband” and “wife” ropes are made at the Kasuga Shrine in the Ettsumi area and Ichikishima Shrine in the Onishi area respectively. Then, on February 11, the two ropes are tied together at Susanoo Shrine in the Irifune (“ship arrival”) ritual. According to legend, long ago, during a great flood, two gods were brought down the river from Miwa, located upstream, where Prince Susanoo-no- Mikoto (male) was helped at Ettsumi and Princess Inada (female) at Onishi. Thereafter, the two were worshipped in a “wedding” every new year. The festival is rooted in this legend.Date：January 14 every yearPlace：Dadado, Nenbutsuji TempleTrain: About 10 min. by car from JR Yamato-Futami StationCultural Properties Division, Board of Education SecretariatDate：Every year on February 11Place：Susanoo ShrineTrain: Approximately 30 minutes’ walk from Makimuku Station on the JR Sakurai LineTourism and Community-Building Dept., Sakurai City Call開催日：毎年1月1４日場所：念仏寺陀々堂電車：JR「大和二見駅」より車で約10分教育委員会事務局 文化財課0747-24-2011開催日：毎年2月11日場所：素盞嗚神社電車：JR桜井線「巻向駅」より徒歩約30分桜井市役所観光まちづくり課0744-42-9111狂ったように吼える法螺貝や、太鼓を叩く強烈な音に包まれて、鬼面が闇の中に浮かび上がる。You can see ogre masks appearing out of the dark amidst the wild blowing of triton trumpets and intense sounds of drums beating.入舟の儀式の前には、男綱の尾を田んぼに巻いて土俵を作り「泥相撲」を取る。泥が多くつくほど、豊作になるといわれている。Prior to the ceremony for the arrival of the ships, the“husband”rope is set up in a rice field to create a sumo ring for “mud sumo.” It is said that the more mudthere is, the better the harvest!燃えさかる松明を、鬼が振りかざす！約500年間伝承される、異形の火祭り激しく燃える大きな松明を振りかざし、父鬼・母鬼・子鬼が人々の災厄を払う炎の祭典。鬼が幸いをもたらす全国でも珍しい伝統行事。「鬼走り」が始まるのは21時。僧たちの読経や、火天（火の神）が松明を「水」の字に振って祭りの安全を願う「火伏の行」に続いて鬼が登場。堂内が火の海と化す中、火の粉をまき散らしながら3体の鬼が堂内を歩き回る、異様な風景に魅せられる。松明を灯さない「昼の鬼走り（16時〜）」や「護摩供（19時〜）」なども実施される。巨大な男綱・女綱を作り、神前で結ぶ！神話に由来する「お綱はんの結婚式」初瀬川の南北に位置する江包・大西地区で、五穀豊穣と子孫繁栄を祈願して行われる田遊び祭り。別名「お綱はんの結婚式」とも呼ばれ、江包地区の春日神社で男綱（おづな）を、大西地区の市杵島（いちきしま）神社で女綱（めづな）を作り、2月11日に素盞嗚（すさのお）神社で2本の綱を結び合わせる「入舟（いりぶね）の儀式」を執り行う。昔、大洪水で2人の神様が上流の三輪から流れ着かれ、素盞嗚尊（すさのおのみこと）を江包が、稲田姫を大西が救って祀り、その2神が毎年正月に結婚式をあげたことに由来するといわれている。正月の行事国指定重要無形民俗文化財田遊び国指定重要無形民俗文化財EventAccessContactEventAccessContactイベント情報アクセスお問い合わせ先ホームページ ▶ URL https://www.city.gojo.lg.jp/soshiki/bunka/index.htmlイベント情報アクセスお問い合わせ先ホームページ ▶ URL https://www.city.sakurai.lg.jp/100sen/1402035787414.html だ だ どう お に Dadadou No Onihashiri えっ つ み お お にし つ な ま つEttsumi/Onishi Otsuna (Giant Rope) Festivalここが見どころ !ここが見どころ !奈良県／五條市 Gojo City, Nara Prefecture奈良県／桜井市 Sakurai City, Nara Prefecture22522500※掲載されている情報は、令和7(2025)年12月末現在の情報であり、お出かけの際には、事前に最新情報をご確認下さい。 *The information provided is current as of the end of December 2025 (Reiwa 7).
