It is also famous for its "Goma Praying" or Fire Ritual where people offer prayers in front of a consecrated fire. "Naritasan Shinshouji Temple" has a ritual of performing Goma prayers every single day. Part of the fun is visiting 'Naritasan' where traditional stores are lined up over the distance from railway station to the temple.
