Intangible Folk Cultural Properties Requiring Documentation of Tottori

Misasa no Jinsho is a National Important Intangible Folk Cultural Property held each May in Misasa Town, Tottori Prefecture. Two massive ropes — each about 80 meters long and 2 tons in weight, braided entirely from wisteria vines harvested on sacred Mount Mitoku — are pulled by the east and west halves of the hot-spring town in a thunderous Boys' Day ritual. Discover its history, highlights, and visitor information, together with Japan's first Japan Heritage site.
