Every second Sunday of February, Toba Shinmei Shrine in Nishio City holds a Fire Festival with a fire pillar rising in the clear winter night sky .
This festival is called "Toba Dai-kagaribi (The Great Bonfire of Toba)" with 1,200 years history, and one of the most dangerous fire festivals in Japan.
Two giant torches, each 5 meters tall and weighing 2 tons, are set up and lit within the grounds of the shrine, and men called "kami otoko" who are divided into 2 teams jump into the flames and compete to bring out sacred trees and 12 ropes that have been placed in the fires and offer them to the god. The results of the competition are used to divine the year's weather and whether the harvest will be good or bad.
