Rooms around Kumano, Mie fill up while the festival is on.
At Omori Shrine in Ogawa, Ikuyu-cho, Kumano City, Mie Prefecture, the annual grand festival 'Doburoku Matsuri' is held every year on November 23. At this festival, doburoku brewed for the grand festival is used in the Shinto ritual. On the day, after the ritual from 10:00, the doburoku used in the ritual is offered to worshippers from 12:00. In the shrine grounds surrounded by cedar trees and clear streams, the aroma of doburoku being shared drifts, inviting worshippers into a pleasantly tipsy moment. In the afternoon, entertainment is held, and from 14:30 mochihori (rice cake digging) takes place. Through the once-a-year grand festival, the local event surrounding doburoku continues to be passed down.
