Old Yamada House, Higashiimoarai01 ／ Nogami
At midnight on 5 June, a rite has been held at the Nogami site in Sako. Street lamps are covered, the priest recites his prayer without a voice, and even the clapping of hands makes no sound. The 37 chimaki offered, wrapped in makomo reed, are cut to match the number of households in Sako and left at each door before dawn.
02 ／ Hamadai tea fields
Inside the Kizu River embankment, the tea fields of Hamadai in Sayama grow tencha, the leaf ground into matcha. In the town's account, the embankment bends around the fields because people wished to keep them when it was built. From early April the bushes are covered to shade them from the sun. In 2016 the fields were added to Japan Heritage.
03 ／ Tamata Shrine
By the shrine's own history, Meiwa 7 (1770) was a year of great drought, with not a drop of rain from 28 May to 4 August. On the seventh day of the Yodo castle lord's prayers, heavy rain fell, and ever since a shrine maiden has performed the yukagura of the Tsuchiwari-sai, dipping bamboo leaves in hot water from a large cauldron and sprinkling it over the ground. At the autumn festival, eight za, the groups called miyaza, join the procession.
