The Onioi Ceremony at Kanzakuji Temple is held every year on Coming of Age Day in January as part of the New Year's event called ``Shosei''. I didn't know how crowded it would be, so I parked at Fukusaki Town Daiichi Ground (right next to Tsujikawayama Park) and took a look.

Fukusaki Town is located in the southwest of Hyogo Prefecture, formerly known as "Banshu" or "Harima Province." In the past, it flourished as a key transportation hub where roads linking the east and west and the north and south intersected. On May 3, 1956, Tahara Village, Yachikusa Village, and the former Fukusaki Town merged to form the town we see today. Even today, the town remains an important transportation hub, with the JR Bantan Line, Bantan Link Road, and National Route 312 running north to south, and the Chugoku Expressway and Prefectural Route Miki-Shiso Line running east to west. Furthermore, Fukusaki Town is a rural city surrounded by lush green mountains, with the Ichikawa River flowing through the center of town, and is a region rich in history and cultural heritage.

Arrived a while ago
While listening to the announcements, the mountain god appears with a torch and chases demons (several times).
・Handover of mini-torches by the mountain god ・Dance by the mountain god, red demon, and blue demon inside the shrine grounds ・Dance by the mountain god, red demon, and blue demon outside
・It's called mochi-maki.

Some people had already gotten the torch from the first mountain god and went home, but I wanted to see all three of them at the same time.
