You can experience the fire-flying kamakura!

Anyone can participate in the fire-swinging kamakura, but if the timing isn't right, you may not be able to participate... On this tour, we reserve rice bags and a space for all participants. Each person can participate up to two times. We also provide fire-resistant happi coats, so you won't have to worry about sparks burning holes in your clothes. (Please note that this does not completely protect you.)

This tour comes with a souvenir exclusive to this tour!

It comes with an original tenugui towel with a design of the Akita Shinkansen Komachi, which also stops at Kakunodate Station. You can wrap it around your head when turning the rice bales to protect your hair. After use, you can keep it as a souvenir, making it the perfect way to create memories with your children.

Free giveaways available!

When it comes to festivals, finding food is a major concern...Have you ever missed the festival because the restaurants were full or you were waiting in line at the food stalls? Participants in this tour will be provided with free food. Familiar dishes made by local people will warm your body and soul.
