Daigoji Temple

申し訳ありません、このコンテンツはただ今　アメリカ英語　のみです。

As part of the Godairiki-San ceremony, participants attempt to please the deity of the temple by lifting a gigantic two-layered {kagami-mochi} (rice cake). Male participants will carry 150kg and females 90kg on a large stage constructed in front of the main hall. As the crowds cheer, each participant challenges the record of holding the mochi as long as possible. Those wishing to participate can register at the temple on the day of the festival.
