The festival of Hojozu Hachiman Shrine, called Shinminato Hikiyama Festival, takes place on October 1. Thirteen creaking wheeled floats together with mikoshi portable shrines make a dignified progress to the harmonious strains of hikiyama hayashi. The dazzling floats, decorated with flowers during the day and with paper lanterns in the evening, parade in the streets of Shinminato.
