KomachiMatsuri

The KomachiMatsuri is a festival that recalls Ono no Komachi, poet of the Heian Period. There are dances, drums, karuta cards, and a recitation and dedication of Japanese poems by seven young "Komachi" girls chosen from Yuzawa City. There is also a children's parade, Yakunai dance, rice cake tossing, and a myriad of events. Don't miss the "Komachi" girls illuminated against the backdrop of Komachido Shrine in the darkness during the small festival held the night before.
