Sankuro Yagura Tower Building and Mochi Pounding

About this event

"Sankuro Yagura Tower Building and Mochi Pounding" will be held at Azumino Chihiro Park in Matsukawa Village, Nagano Prefecture. This event is inspired by "Sankuro," a traditional custom where New Year decorations, Daruma dolls, and first calligraphy (kakizome) are burned to pray for good health and ward off illness. Led by the Park Support Team, participants will work together using long-cultivated skills and wisdom to build an impressive Sankuro yagura tower. After completing the tower, everyone will pound mochi together, which will then be served to attendees. As the mochi served is limited in quantity, early participation is recommended. It is a valuable opportunity to experience firsthand a community-rooted traditional event where you can also try mochi pounding, a classic year-end and New Year tradition.
