On the 8th, about 20 people, including local residents, gathered at the venue and, in response to the call, sprinkled the accumulated rainwater and groundwater all at once to sprinkle water.
To prevent the infection of the new coronavirus, Koshiko sent a water splash on the Internet to prevent a large number of people from gathering and invited people other than the venue to participate.
