The Daruma-Burning Ceremony at Nishiarai Daishi is a powerful winter ritual held each year to mark renewal and gratitude. Visitors bring Daruma dolls—symbols of perseverance and good fortune—that have fulfilled their purpose and offer them to a sacred goma fire. As flames rise, prayers for health, success, and protection are sent skyward, creating a moving scene that blends spiritual reflection with vibrant local tradition.
