About this event

Held every year on 15 January, Nozawa Onsen's Dosojin Fire Festival is one of Japan's three great fire festivals. Village men aged 25 and 42 defend a towering wooden shrine while other villagers charge it with torches, and it ends in a huge bonfire. Preparations on 13-15 January are open to everyone, but the night ceremony is only for residents and guests staying overnight in the village, with an admission ticket, so book your stay early. Join the chat to plan the trip with other riders. Nozawa Onsen Village runs the event, not Broski: check their site for tickets and the latest times.
