About this event
The Otsuka Furusato Festival, held in Ebina City, is a festival overflowing with local tradition and energy set in Higashikashiwagaya Neighborhood Park. Along with diverse stage performances such as kids' dance, kappore dance, and traditional Japanese dance, the event features powerful Higashi-Kashiwa Taiko drum performances, as well as the procession of the Onna Mikoshi (women's portable shrine) and Otsuka Mikoshi, which symbolize the local community. Popular music shows are also scheduled, offering entertainment that spans generations. Regarding the mikoshi procession route and event management on the day, safety is prioritized to pass down local traditions to future generations, with organizers consulting on rest areas, traffic guidance, and operation schedules so that both bearers and roadside spectators can enjoy the event with peace of mind. All parties involved are working together in preparation to deepen community bonds and ensure a festival passed down through generations.
