Agematsu Festival
Originating from the fire worship practiced by the Atago faith, this festival is held on August in order to pray that forest fires will not occur in the region.
Pine torches are lit and placed in hampers that have been arranged on pillars; these pillars are then knocked down and the rite is concluded. This festival is held at three different locations within Miyama.
