Naha-Giant-Tug-Of-War and Eisa Folk Dance.
Naha Giant Tug-of-War originates in the middle of 15th century. In recent years, to wish for civil reconciliation, sound health and peace, the large scale rope, which is 186 meter length, 40 ton weight, 1.58 meter diameter, is tugged by fifteen thousand people. Eisa folk dance is performed by young men and women in the town to wish for sound health, safety of the family and prosperity and to hold a memorial service for ancestor's soul from August to September.
