Known for its beautiful shape, Mt. Aoba is the symbol of Takahama and is also called the "Wakasa Fuji."

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.
