The Yabusame Ritual is a world-famous traditional event! Archers dressed as samurai shoot arrows while riding galloping horses, aiming to hit three targets in the arena. This horseback archery competition was popular among samurai from the Heian to Kamakura periods. You definitely have to experience it—it's such a unique tradition!

The Kunchi Festival is an energetic and lively event, officially recognized as an important intangible folk culture in Japan. The performances are so much fun, and you can even watch the 'Niwa-mi' parade, which is said to bring good luck!
