first mountain festival of the New Year

It is held every year on June 1, the day the mountain opens at Otoko Asama （ Kami-no-Miya ） and Onna Asama （ Shimo-no-Miya ）. This festival is said to have started about 300 years ago and is designated as an important cultural property of Ashikaga City. Legend has it that the festival began when a flood ・ epidemic ・ famine in the Ashikaga area in the past caused many children to suffer, and a dragon ascended from the mountain where the shrine is enshrined and saved the children. On the day of the festival, people bring their babies born during the year to the shrine and have a red seal (the shape differs for men and women ）) stamped on their foreheads to pray for good health ・ and good fortune ・.
