The 'Otomouma no Hashirikomi' is a traditional event held at Kamo Shrine in Kikumamachi, where boys aged 3 to 15 ride decorated horses and race down a 300-meter path while shouting 'Hoyah, Hoyah'. This event, which has origins dating back about 500 years to the Muromachi period, is designated as an intangible folk cultural asset of Ehime Prefecture.
