Seinousha Mochi-Pounding Festival (Mochitsuki Matsuri)

About this event

The annual year-end "Mochitsuki Matsuri" hosted by Seinousha will be held again this year. Reaching its 8th edition this year, this event aims to pass down good old Japanese culture and customs alongside the local community. On the day of the event, sumo wrestlers from the Hakkaku stable will attend, and participants can experience pounding mochi together with them. In addition, guests can taste chanko nabe supervised by sumo wrestlers or try sumo wrestling challenges. At the end of the event, the annual grand raffle will also be held, featuring many prizes. Mochi pounded by sumo wrestlers is known as "chikaramochi" (power mochi) and is considered auspicious. Furthermore, it is said that babies held by sumo wrestlers grow up healthy, making this a day to experience the power of sumo wrestlers and traditional Japanese culture. Many visitors are warmly welcomed.
