Ōiso Sagichō Festival大磯の左義長
The Fire Festival, a tradition dating back to the Edo period, occurs in mid-January, typically around January 14th. It unfolds across various neighborhoods in Oiso, converging into a grand celebration at Kitahama Beach.
This festival holds the prestigious designation of being a National Important Intangible Folk Cultural Property and annually draws a substantial crowd. According to local beliefs, consuming dumplings roasted over these flames safeguards against colds, witnessing calligraphy paper dramatically ignite to great heights enhances calligraphy prowess, and situating burning pine needles from the bonfire on rooftops serves as a protective charm against fires.
