Dondoyki is a fire festival usually held on January, marking the end of the New year and ‘s celebrations .
People gather  last years shrine ornaments and charms,  such as good-luck  and safety  charms known at omamori as well as  wishing dolls known as durama,   and burn them in a big big bonfire . This symbolizes the spirits of last year returning home within the smoke of the fire to allow the  sprints of the coming year to start a new. 

This is the only night of the year you can do night skiing at  Suginohara ski park (!7:00～21：00).  There are then also many food and drink stalls set up as well as a firework.
