Dojima Yakushido Setsubun Omizukumi Festival
Setsubun is a Japanese event. It marks the end of winter and the day before spring. Many people believe it chases away bad spirits. Residents throw beans at people dressed as devils to drive them out of shops and houses. The Dojima Yakushido celebrations include Goma-daki and omizukumi. Goma-daki is a fire-tossing ceremony. Omizukumi is a water-drawing ritual. Visitors can have their water sanctified by a priest from the famed Nara temple Yakushido. Customers and workers at Kita-Shinchi banish demons by throwing beans of good fortune at them.

Kamihinokinai Paper Ballon Festival
On February 10, gigantic paper balloons are launched into the midwinter night sky. They are adorned with hand-drawn images of warriors and beautiful ladies. These hand-drawn balloons, up to 12 meters tall, are built like hot air balloons and launched between 18:00 and 20:30. As the release time approaches, a fire is set within the balloons, causing the air to heat up. With a loud countdown, the giant balloons rise into the night sky. They create a dreamlike image.

Namahage Sedo Festival
The festival is on the second Friday, Saturday, and Sunday of February. The namahage come down the mountain at 7:30 p.m. The festival starts at 6 p.m. with a giant bonfire in the town’s main square. It uses enough wood to heat a house in winter. Many people pay their respects at the shrine, illuminated by red paper lanterns. At 7:25 p.m., fifteen namahage descended from the mountain. Each carried a torch and shouted, “Are there any crybabies around?” or “Are there any naughty kids around?” in the local Akita dialect. They then grab children they suspect are naughty or lazy. They set them straight forever.
