Starting with a signal of "the first drum" that is beaten at midnight of the November Rooster Day, the festival is held throughout the day.It is said that there are two roots of Rooster Day in November, and three Roots of Three times.

In the past, it was called a festival of Tori (Tori no Machi), but gradually the character of the city was applied.The city stood at the festival.Caterpillar (Rooster Festival) is a festival to pray for the thought of the Eagle Shinto shrine festival, appreciation of the Mamacrede, praying for the luck of the coming year, gifts, fostering, disaster prevention, and business prosperity.The company number was also called the eagle Omijin company in the past.Originally the eagle Omijin company's "big" is respectful, "meigami" is the number proclaiming God.There is a thing more than about sixty years ago from Tempo Imbin (1832) now that we are going to live in the bustle of the Rooster Day · Rooster Festival, Shimo Yoda Hayashi Ome Mijin Company in "Toyo Boshikyo" It is already known that the festival of Rooster was already full of bustle during the Bono calendar / Meiwa years (1750 ~ 60), and it was understood that it was done as an annual event from before.
