Ojiya Bullfighting (Ushi-no-Tsunotsuki)

The Ojiya Bullfighting Arena is the stage for "Ushi-no-Tsunotsuki," a traditional bull butting ritual with a history of over 1,000 years. Designated as a National Important Intangible Folk Cultural Property, the matches emphasize the power and spirit of the bulls rather than victory or defeat, as most end in a draw to respect the animals. It is a powerful and unique cultural experience that reflects the deep bond between the local people and their livestock.
