A traditional shrine festival held annually on August 17th at Kugenuma Kōdaijingū (also known as Karasumorisha), featuring nine ornate puppet floats crafted over 100 years ago and sacred water-sprinkling rituals (yumitate kagura). The three-tiered floats showcase intricate wooden carvings and elaborate tapestries depicting stories of the puppets at the top. The spectacle of these floats gathering at the shrine is breathtaking. Both the puppet floats and the water-sprinkling rituals are designated as important folk cultural properties of Fujisawa City.
