Regarding the Nozawa Onsen Dosojin Festival scheduled for Wednesday, January 15, 2025.
◯Nozawaonsen Village residents and guests (including foreigners) who are staying in the village and wish to view the exhibition will be issued admission tickets.
◯No beverages (including alcoholic beverages) are permitted.
◯The Dosojin site has a gently sloping terrain toward the shrine, and for the past two years, admission has been restricted to village residents and guests of the village, but the number of visitors has been approximately 4,800. However, the number of visitors to the festival has been restricted to approximately 4,800 people. Given the size of the festival site, we have decided to continue this restriction as we did last year, as we feel that allowing an unlimited number of visitors to enter would be dangerous for the management of the festival.
◯The festival is designated as an Important Intangible Folk Cultural Property, and while we would like visitors to be able to freely view the traditional culture of the Dosojin Festival, we ask for your understanding and cooperation with this restriction.
◯We will inform you of the details, including how to distribute admission tickets, later in the fall.
