Onagawa Seasonal Festivals

Spring Festival

Onagawa Spring Festival

The event is very lively, with tents and food trucks offering dishes made with local ingredients from all over the country!

Tsunami legend: Onagawa Fukukoo

This event was born from the desire to continue to convey to future generations in some way the basic principle of tsunami evacuation - that is, "If a tsunami comes, run to higher ground" at all times.

At the signal of "Run!", everyone runs towards higher ground!

The person who finishes first will be recognized as the "First Onagawa Returnee" and will be given a certificate.

Summer Festival

Onagawa Port Festival

・Lion Dance on the Sea

The daytime performance will include Onagawa's traditional performing art, the Sea Lion Dance, as well as stage events.

Lion dances can be seen widely in the coastal areas of the Ishinomaki region of Miyagi Prefecture, where during the New Year a lion goes from house to house accompanied by the accompaniment of flutes and drums, praying for exorcism, a good catch of fish, and safety for the household.

・Fireworks at sea

Onagawa Bay, where fireworks such as Underwater Starmine and Jumbo Starmine are launched, is surrounded by mountains on three sides, and the impressive fireworks, with their reverberating sounds, light up the night sky of Onagawa.
