Fushimi Inari Taisha's Oyama-sai is held in the New Year, in two parts: a rite in the main hall and a rite on the mountain at the Ozen-dani prayer hall. On the day, a sacred rope is first hung on the outer fence of the seven sacred sites of Mt. Inari; then the chief priest leads the priests and participants up to Ozen-dani, where sake in ritual earthenware is offered on the sacred stone Ozenseki, praying for rich harvests and flourishing family businesses.
