This is one of the largest fireworks displays in the Kanto area. This fireworks festival was revived in 2007 by community volunteers. It is also a fireworks display closely connected to the local community, with events such as the "Word Spirit Fireworks" that convey messages in fireworks and the "Fireworks Art Exhibition" where children's drawings are turned into real fireworks. The highlight is the final fireworks display, which is set off by Margaux, a nationally renowned fireworks manufacturer. You can enjoy a wonderful final show.

The Bramten Festival originated approximately 300 years ago. Held annually on the third Saturday of November at Hagurosan Shrine, it is a grand festival dedicated to praying for a good harvest and the well-being of families. The Bramten is a 15-meter-long pole made of moso and real bamboo, adorned with colorful tassels. Young men, clad in happi robes, carry the Bramten along the shrine's approach to Mt. Haguro (458.2 meters above sea level), chanting "Essa essa." Starting in 2024, the festival will also feature flower fountains and hula dances in kimono. On the day of the festival, approximately 100 stalls and food vendors line the roadside, creating a bustling atmosphere. Don't miss the numerous stalls selling yuzu, a specialty of Kawachi.
