- 【A must-see once in a lifetime!! The Hagi slope descent The most gallant slope descent in Chita Peninsula
Never let go of the rope even when you fall!!】
Located in the southeast part of Agui Town, Hagi is a small district with a population of about 300 people in 100 households. The tutelary shrine, the Oyamazumi-jinja Shrine, is situated midway up a narrow slope to the hilltop. In the festival, a slightly small float called the Oyamaguruma, built to fit the narrow road, is pulled around. The slope descending from the shrine grounds drops 3 m in height over a distance of only 10 m, and leads to a roughly 2 m high cliff. "The Hagi slope descent", which the local people take great pride in as "the most gallant event in Chita Peninsula", is the climax of the float parade. The float takes a left turn before the cliff as soon as it reaches the bottom of the slope, and proceeds to a bend round to the right, descending all the way.
This rustic and heart-warming festival also includes a dedicated performance of festival music passed down from the ancestors, and rice cakes pounded by the local residents are thrown.
