During Edo period (1603 and after), people love to eat slightly salted boiled broad beans harvested near Nakagawa river bank. This Festival is to commemorate and remind the time when people have enjoyed locally grown Broad beans, watching Sumo games. The festival is held at the river bank adjacent to NAKAGAWA FUNABANSHO MUSEUM.
