O-Waraji Parade around the city, dedicated to Haguro Shrine, which had been
suspended due to the COVID-19 pandemic, resumed this year. However, the
parade route was shortened, and the starting point was moved to this square.
(Note: the parade only in Mt. Shinobu was resumed in
2024.)

The playing of Kagura (dance and music dedicated to Japanese gods) was also
resumed.
