Design Your Own Shirakawa Daruma

There are records of Shirakawa Daruma (Japanese traditional dolls) being sold as far back as the feudal reign of the Niwa Domain in 1627. Current Shirakawa Daruma are known as “Shirakawa Tsurugame Shochikubai Daruma.” The faces of these dolls are painted to incorporate various animals and plants, with the eyebrows representing cranes, the mustache representing a turtle, the ears representing pines and plum trees, and the beard representing bamboo or pine trees. All of these images are thought to bring good luck. The daruma is known to be a very classical, lucky talisman, started by Matsudaira Sadanobu, the lord of Shirakawa, when he hired the renowned painter Tani Buncho to paint the now famous face on the daruma doll. Once every year a large Shirakawa Daruma Market is held to celebrate and sell the beloved daruma dolls. You can paint your own daruma at the two daruma workshops in town!

Nihonmatsu Lantern Festival

The Nihonmatsu Lantern Festival is held yearly on the first Saturday, Sunday, and Monday of October. The 2025 festival was held on Saturday 4th, Sunday 5th and Monday 6th.Check the Nihonmatsu Tourism Association website for route maps of the lantern floats.The highlight of the festival is the procession of festival floats during the first evening. Seven large festival floats adorned with lanterns and filled with locals playing taiko drums make their way through the streets of Nihonmatsu City, filling the streets with festival music as they move.  The final destination for the floats is the Nihonmatsu Shrine.The festival traces its roots back to 1643, when Niwa Mitsushige became the lord of the Nihonmatsu clan. Believing that fostering religious piety was a core tenet of strong government, Lord Niwa had Nihonmatsu Shrine built the following year, and opened its gates for anyone in the domain to visit. It’s said that in the first festival, the young people of the town carried a portable shrine (mikoshi) through the streets - in an era where there was a strict class system in place, encouraging widespread religious fervour in this sense was a progressive approach.As a result, historians say the local people came to greatly love and respect their lord, and before long the festival grew into a magnificent spectacle including dancing, huge drumming floats and hanging lanterns. The tradition has continued to this day, where the beautiful illuminated floats rolling through the streets is the backbone of an important yearly event for local people.
Kohata Hata Matsuri (Kohata Flag Festival)
Events & Festivals

Kohata Hata Matsuri (Kohata Flag Festival)

The annual Kohata Hata Matsuri (Kohata Flag Festival) is one of three main festivals in Japan centered on a dramatic procession of large flags, and has been held for over 960 years. The five hues of the brightly-colored flags rising up towards the sky makes for some fantastic views. Kohata Flag Festival, which has been designated as an Important Intangible Folk Cultural Property of Japan, is held annually on the first Sunday of December.Mt. Kohata, for which the Kohata suburb of Nihonmatsu is named, is home to the impressive Okitsushima Shrine. This is where the festival is completed once the attendees have brought the flags up the mountain to make an offering at the shrine complex. The festival route involves wandering through a series of back roads and woodland paths, making it a considerably longer journey than the usual steps that lead to the shrine.The festival typically begins with speeches from local dignitaries at 8am, with the flag procession departing the Kohata Community Center at 8.30am. Accounting for several breaks on the parade route, the flags arrive at Okitsushima Shrine shortly before 1pm in the afternoon, so it's worth bringing food and drink to recharge your energy during the journey. The footing in the woodland can be slippery in early December, so visitors might consider shoes with good grip.

Taimatsu Akashi (Torch Festival)
Events & Festivals

Taimatsu Akashi (Torch Festival)

With a history stretching back over 400 years, the Taimatsu Akashi torch festival in Sukagawa City is one of the three major fire festivals in Japan. As the night grows darker and the bonfires flare brightly here and there around the venue, groups of local junior high and senior high school students march through the town carrying 30 8-meter-long wooden torches called Hon-taimatsu, which they created by themselves, followed by a group of young men carrying the huge wooden torch called the Dai-taimatsu (10 meters long and weighing about 3 tons), and a group of women carrying a smaller wooden torch called the Hime-taimatsu (6 meters long and weighing 1 ton). These torches are carried to the top of Mt. Gorozan.There is also a wooden frame depicting Sukagawa Castle and a group of samurai warriors. As the drummers from Oushu Sukagawa Taimatsu-Daiko Hozonkai powerfully beat their Taimatsu-Daiko drums, the torches and the wooden frame are lit with a sacred fire carried up by a group of runners from Nikaido Shrine. The whole mountain looks as if it is on fire. The combination of fire and the beating of the drums is reminiscent of the days in the Warring States period. Local students form chanting squads to cheer on their torch as it burns - this main section with the flaming torches takes around an hour.In recent years, this traditional event has become well known as a participatory festival, allowing neighborhood associations, local elementary school pupils, and tourists to join the parade to Mt. Gorozan, each carrying a thin torchwood called a Sho-taimatsu (10 cm in diameter).2024 ROUTE MAP IN ENGLISHThe schedule for the 2024 festival was as follows:11:00　Midorigaoka Park Grass SquareFood and drink corner 13:00-16:00     tetteSmall torch making cornerNote: After making your torch, you can join the small torch procession at 17.15. 13:00-16:00     Taimatsu Street Sukagawa Shinkin Bank Head Office (Parking Lot)Commemorative photo with warriors in armorFree Sengoku Nabe (pork soup) while stocks lastSale of agricultural productsShizuoka City Specialty Products CornerTaimatsu Akashi Historic Site and Battlefield Walk Meeting Point (15:15)Karate demonstration 13:30-14:10     In front of Yoshida Clinic on Taimatsu StreetTorch presentation 14:00   Torch Street Miyasakicho areaSukagawa First Junior High School torch parade start 17:30-17:45     Nikaido ShrineSacred fire offering ceremony (receiving the sacred fire to light the torch) 17:00 (scheduled)       Myoken Children's ParkLocal organisations torch procession starts 17:15-18:00     Miharashibashi Parking Lot  General torch procession startsPlease participate with small torches made at the small torch crafting corner.Small torches will also be available for purchase (500 yen each, limited to 100) 18:00-19:45     Mt.
