On October 13, 2024, the annual festival was held at Yamaguni Shrine in Keihoku, Ukyo Ward, Kyoto City, and a march was held to recreate the "Ishin Kinno Yamagunitai," a peasant corps that joined the new government forces and fought against the former Shogunate forces during the Boshin War. This year, for the first time in its 150-year history, women joined the parade. A total of about 70 people dressed in haori and hakama paraded through the mountain village on a clear autumn day, playing brave drums and fifes.
