Located in the Sugiyama hamlet at the eastern edge of Maizuru City, nestled in the foothills of the sacred Mt. Aoba, this renowned spring flows near the small shrine of Oosugi Jinja. The spring water maintains a steady temperature of 11°C year-round and is known for its exceptional purity. Nearby, terraced rice fields are nourished by the spring’s water, and visitors can enjoy a unique view known as the “Sakasami” (Inverted Sea), where the sea appears higher than the farmland below. At the Oosugi Shrine, you’ll also find an ancient cedar tree over 800 years old, adding a sense of timeless sacredness to the landscape.AddressMatsuo, Maizuru-city, Kyoto 625-0001Google Map Check with Google Maps AccessParkingBusiness HoursAdmission FeeRegular HolidayPhone NumberSpecial notesURL Youtube SNSHow to UseThis digital map provides the following features.(Detailed usage instructions are available at each spot.)Parade and performance venues for the Shichinen Festival will appear as map spots when the "Otabisho & Honjin" category is selected (on PC, the selection button is at the top left).

Located halfway up Mt. Aoba, Matsuo-ji Temple is the 29th stop on the Saigoku Pilgrimage and is dedicated to Bato Kannon. Along with its rich history, the temple is known for its beautiful grounds, impressive collection of cultural treasures, and the rare religious ritual called "Butokumai", passed down since the Edo period.

Known for its beautiful shape, Mt. Aoba is the symbol of Takahama and is also called the "Wakasa Fuji." With its twin peaks—East Peak (693m) and West Peak (692m)—the mountain’s appearance changes depending on where you view it from. The sunset over Mt. Aoba, as seen from Takahama, has been selected as one of Japan’s Top 100 Sunsets, and the combination of Wakasa Wada Beach’s clear waters with the mountain's silhouette is a view worth capturing. Located at the border of northern and southern plant habitats, Mt. Aoba is home to a rich variety of wild plants and is known as a "treasure trove of medicinal herbs." The mountain also has a spiritual history as a training ground for Shugendo practitioners. With its diverse hiking trails, it’s a popular destination for both nature lovers and hikers.AddressYamanaka, Takahama-cho, Oi-gun, Fukui Prefecture, 919-2351Google Map Check with Google Maps AccessThe trailhead is a 10 minutes by car from JR Aonogo or JR Mitsumatsu StationParkingBusiness HoursAdmission FeeFreeRegular HolidayPhone Number0770-50-9012Special notesURL https://www.aoba-san.com/ Youtube SNSHow to UseThis digital map provides the following features.(Detailed usage instructions are available at each spot.)Parade and performance venues for the Shichinen Festival will appear as map spots when the "Otabisho & Honjin" category is selected (on PC, the selection button is at the top left).

About the Takahama ShichinenFestival In ancient Japan, epidemics and disasters were believed to be caused by vengeful spirits. To appease these spirits, festivals known as “Goryoe” were held. The Takahama Shichinen Festival is one such tradition. Based on the Chinese zodiac, the years from Rat (子) to Snake (巳) are considered Yang, and Horse (午) to Boar (亥) are Yin. The years of Snake and Boar—representing the height of Yin and Yang—are designated as “Festival Years.” The festival is held every seven years, including the festival year itself. Over a span of seven days and nights, the festival showcases elegant rituals such as mikoshi (portable shrine) processions, hikiyama (parade floats) performances, sword dances, kagura (sacred music and dance), rice planting ceremonies, and improvised plays.

[Temporary Notice]The previous Nishiyama OtabishoThe deity enshrined in the Nishiyama mikoshi is Ōnamuchi-no-Mikoto, later known as Ōkuninushi-no-Mikoto. In the Nihon Shoki, he is described as the son of Susanoo-no-Mikoto and Inadahime-no-Mikoto, while in other texts such as the Kojiki, he is regarded as their sixth-generation descendant. According to the Sakichi Shrine Records, the current mikoshi was built in 1803 (Kyōwa 3) by two craftsmen: Kansuke from Sakata Village and Nihei from Tateishi Village. The yamamoto (sponsoring household) for the Nishiyama mikoshi rotates among four districts: Kobi, Hata, Tateishi, and Nakayori. However, every second rotation is always undertaken by the Seijō Magobei family of the Kobi District. This means the mikoshi makes its formal procession through Kosu every 12 years, while the other three districts each receive it once every 36 years.AddressGoogle Map Check with Google Maps AccessParkingBusiness HoursAdmission FeeRegular HolidayPhone NumberURL SNSHow to UseThis digital map provides the following features.(Detailed usage instructions are available at each spot.)Parade and performance venues for the Shichinen Festival will appear as map spots when the "Otabisho & Honjin" category is selected (on PC, the selection button is at the top left).

[Temporary Notice]Entrance to the Nakanoyama Otabisho Tachifuri sword ritual performed at the Nakanoyama OtabishoThe deity enshrined in the Nakano-yama mikoshi is Susanoo-no-Mikoto, a powerful and tempestuous god. Befitting this fierce spirit, the Nakano-yama mikoshi is the largest of the three and is carried by the greatest number of bearers—130 in total. Since 1959 (Showa 34), the departure order from the shrine has followed the sequence: Nakano-yama, Nishiyama, and then Higashiyama. While the exact year of the mikoshi’s creation is unknown, an inscription on the decorative fittings box (yōraku) reads: “A fortunate day in May, Meiwa 4 (1767).” The otabisho (resting site) for Nakano-yama is the residence of the Tokioka family in the Honmachi District. The yamamoto (the original sponsoring household) is the Tsuneda family, whose estate is located in the former Takahama castle town, in the Tatenokuchi area along Honmachi Street.AddressGoogle Map Check with Google Maps AccessParkingBusiness HoursAdmission FeeRegular HolidayPhone NumberURL SNSHow to UseThis digital map provides the following features.(Detailed usage instructions are available at each spot.)Parade and performance venues for the Shichinen Festival will appear as map spots when the "Otabisho & Honjin" category is selected (on PC, the selection button is at the top left).

[Temporary Notice]Three portable shrines (mikoshi) stand ready, awaiting their grand departure together. On the second day of the festival, all seven festival floats (hikiyama) come together in a grand display.On the second day of the festival, all seven festival floats (hikiyama) come together in a grand display.The festival ends with a deep sense of satisfaction and fulfillment.The seven golden hikiyama (festival floats) that grace the once-every-seven-years festivalIn ancient Japan, epidemics and natural disasters were often believed to be caused by vengeful spirits. To calm these spirits, people held rituals known as matsuri, offering prayers and performances as acts of devotion. The Takahama Shichinen-Matsuri is one such festival, with a history spanning over 450 years. Rooted in the principles of Yin and Yang and the twelve signs of the Japanese zodiac, the zodiac is divided into two groups: the first six signs—from the Rat to the Snake—are associated with Yang (positive energy), while the latter six—from the Horse to the Boar—represent Yin (negative energy). The energies of Yin and Yang are believed to peak in the Year of the Snake (6th sign) and the Year of the Boar (12th sign), which are marked as special festival years. Because of this cyclical pattern, a "festival year" occurs every seventh year—hence the name Shichinen-Matsuri, or "Seven-Year Festival." During this vibrant week-long celebration, the town comes alive as locals parade through the streets with large portable shrines (mikoshi) and elaborately decorated floats (hikiyama), accompanied by traditional performances such as Tachifuri (sword dancing), Kagura (sacred music and dance), Otaue (rice planting ritual), and Niwaka (folk comedy skits).AddressGoogle Map Check with Google Maps Access9 minutes walk from JR Wakasa Takahama StationParkingPlease note that no parking is available during the festival period.Business HoursAdmission FeeRegular HolidayPhone NumberURL https://www.town.takahama.fukui.jp/page/sanngyousinnkou/p008295.html SNSHow to UseThis digital map provides the following features.(Detailed usage instructions are available at each spot.)Parade and performance venues for the Shichinen Festival will appear as map spots when the "Otabisho & Honjin" category is selected (on PC, the selection button is at the top left).
