TRADITIONAL EVENTS


Ushi-Oni [Demon Bull] Festival(牛鬼まつり)

Ushi-Oni is a unique talisman figure, which is popular in southern Ehime festivals. A float of Ushi-Oni has a gigantic basketwork body as long as 5 to 6 meters. It is covered with red cloth or the bark of palm, and is shouldered by scores of young men. Many floats of Ushi-Oni parade the streets in the center of Uwajima. The festival is on every July 24.


Bull Fighting (闘牛大会)

Bull Fighting is held five times a year at the domed stadium, Togyu Jo. Fights are held on January 2, the 1st Sunday of April, July 24, August 14 and the 2nd Sunday of November. Bouts between two bulls, each weighing nearly 1 ton, are quite dynamic. The bulls crash so hard against each other that you may possibly hear the sound of their pant. Tickets are 3000 yen.
