Local residents manage and maintain each of the mountain castles. As the festival approaches, I&#8217;m sweating to collect the branches used for mowing and raising smoke signals. Such efforts can only be made if there is a local bond. The scale of the festival will be reduced due to the influence of the new coronavirus this year, but the signal will be increased at 11 locations in Joetsu City from 9 am on Sunday, 22nd of this month. In line with the Kenshinko Festival, we will introduce a video of the signal-raising group.<\/div>\r\n<div style=\"color: #333333; text-transform: none; text-indent: 0px; letter-spacing: normal;
