Miyama’s Thatched Village Water Hose Festival
As the thatched village is very flammable and a site of cultural and historic interest, it is protected by an elaborate system of 62 water hoses that automatically spray water over the whole village if a fire breaks out.
Every year, May and December, the hose system will be tested by the local fire brigade and it is quite a spectacular sight.
The fire drill will also be operated on rainny weather.
The water spray creates rainbows over the thatched houses and the festival is always well attended.
