Origin / origin of the festival
Chag Chag Mako was born from "Aima spirit" represented by the Southern Curved House. When horses were still used for farming work, events set up as the only rest day during the farming season are now transmitted. In addition, "small cargo costumes" attached to Chaguchagu Mako is a remnant of the Daimyo procession, and it is an event where the history is alive.
