The festival started at 17:00. Visitors bought lots for the big lottery and enjoyed the fair.

After the opening, a "karaoke contest" began. This was open for registration on the day of the event, and was attended not only by local residents but also by guests from far away.

In between the karaoke contests, two groups of artists performed live music. Several songs were performed, including "Tawarayama Onsen no Uta" (Song of Tawarayama Onsen), which featured Tawarayama Onsen as its theme, and the audience was excited.

At the end of the festival, everyone danced around the turret to two songs, "Tawarayama Onsen no Uta" (Song of Tawarayama Hot Springs) and "Ii Yu Dana" (Nice Hot Spring). The venue was filled with smiles and fun.

The last part of the event is a big raffle. This is a very exciting event every year, with prizes of gorgeous products from Tawarayama. This year, there were prizes ranging from 1st to 14th and even a special prize, and the audience shouted with joy every time their numbers were called.
