According to a local folklore, Dec. 3 is the only date in a year in which the goddess enshrined in Chichibu Shrine and the god of Mt. Bukoh (they are in love!) can meet officially with permission from Suwa, the first wife of Mt. Bukoh. On the 3rd, as the parade goes into the climax, the night sky is decorated with beutiful winter fireworks as if celebrating their once-a-year affair!
