The festival begins with the striking of the first drum at midnight on the day of the Rooster in November, and continues all day.If there are two Rooster days in November, it is called the second Rooster day, and if there are three, it is called the third Rooster day.

It was previously called Tori no Machi (Tori Festival), but gradually the characters for city were used.A market was set up to celebrate the festival.Tori no Ichi (Tori Festival) is a festival to ask the divine will of the enshrined deity of Washi Shrine, to express gratitude for the divine blessings, and to pray for good fortune, blessings, increased production, protection from disasters, and prosperous business in the coming year.The shrine was formerly called Washi Daimyojin Shrine.Originally, the "dai" in Washi Daimyojin Shrine was a sign of respect, and "myojin" was a title used to worship a god.The Toto Saijiki states that the days of the Rooster, the Rooster Festival, and Shimotayata Hoso Daimyojin Shrine have been bustling for over 60 years, prior to the Tenpo Jinjin era (1832). This shows that the Rooster Festival was already a very popular event during the Horeki and Meiwa eras (1750-1760), and that it had been held as an annual event even before that.
