A part of the weeklong "Rokugo no Kamakura" festival, this evening features people hitting each other in the head with bamboo poles. Participants are given helmets for safety, though people have sustained injuries in the past. This very interesting festival is not known for being particularly safe.
Misato is east of Yokote and south of Daisen. It is bordered on the east by Iwate.
