We write their names down on the carp and tell the family where we are hanging them. This event is also supported by nearly 200 volunteers. We start to prepare for the event early in February. Then two weeks prior to the display week, volunteers get together to mend whatever needs to be fixed. There will be around 120 stands selling foods and drinks at the festivity site.
Many families bring camping gear and barbecue along the river to enjoy the day.
The children enjoy catching small fish and crawfish or just getting wet in the water. May 3 and 4. During the festival, members of the fishermen s association will display fresh water fish. There will be a ayu, or sweetfish catching competition. After that, sweetfish will be broiled with salt for participants to share.
