The over 400-year-old festival features an amazing ritual of tsunabi fireworks that, when lit, fire off more than 300 rounds one after another along two 100-meter-long ropes suspended over the path leading up to Toyokawa Susano'o Jinja Shrine. This spectacle has been appointed an intangible folk cultural property of Aichi Prefecture.
