The Tawarayama Hot Springs Festival was held in Tawarayama, Nagato City, for two days from April 19 (Sat.) to 20 (Sun.), 2025. The Tawarayama Kabuki Club performed Kotobuki Gonin Sanbaso, and local groups performed ding-dong, chorus, children's portable shrines, and dances along the way. This article provides photos of the events held on Saturday, March 19.
Kabuki has been passed down in Tawarayama Onsen, a therapeutic hot spring resort that has existed for more than 1,000 years. The Tawarayama KABUKI Club performed Kotobuki-Gonin Sanbaso, a performance to pray for peace and a good harvest.
