The "Odaishi-san" festival, a beloved spring tradition in Nobeoka, will be held again this year.
This festival is filled with the prayers of the historical Kobo Daishi and the feelings of the local people. During the festival, you can enjoy events unique to "Odaishi-san," such as hospitality and craftwork.
The climax of the Odaishi Festival is a parade through the city, with various groups, including a daimyo procession, lining the streets in elaborate costumes.
Please come and visit us!
