Rice Planting Festival

田植祭【糸田町】

The Rice Planting Festival is held every year on March 15th at Kanamura Shrine in order to wish for good health and a bumber crop of rice. Using both human and cow powered plows, farmwork is done, making this a unique, some would say humorous, event! Visitors become excited when the rice planting and an act takes place.
This event is performed by the Rice Planting Preservation Association and was designated an Important Cultural Asset on December 27, 1996 (Heisei 8).
