起源は約４００年前にさかのぼるといわれる。
The origin of Hita Gion is said that history goes back to the beginning of 17 century.
１７１４年、当時の日田代官が京都の祇園山鉾を手本に現代の山鉾の形になったといわれています。
In 1714,Hita daikan(governer)at that time imitated Kyoto Gion and finally the structure of festibal car became present day.
１９７１年より７月の二十日過ぎの土日に曳きまわしが行われるようになった。
Since 1971,festival car driving began to take place Suturday and Sunday past 20th of July every year.





１９８９年より日田駅前において集団顔見世が行われるようになったが、これは流れ曳き（ためし曳き）を利用したもので、３日続けて山鉾を曳いてはならないという掟があり、山鉾巡行本番の２日前（木曜日）に行われます。
Shudan kaomise (group debut)began to take place from 1989,8 festival cars come together just in front of the hita station .
Nagarebiki,originaly took place as a meaning of test driving,but it has changed to the event for tourist as Shudan kaomise.
Nagarebiki take place two days ahead of Hita gion festival day-thurthday.
According to the rule from the old days, a festival car must not be driven 3days continuously.
１９９６年『日田祇園曳き山行事』という名称で国の重要無形民俗文化財の指定を受けています。
In 1996 -Hita gion hikiyama gyouji- authorized as Juyo mukei minzoku bunkazai-Nations intangible cultural treasure.
山鉾には笹笛、太鼓、三味線からなる祇園囃子７、８人乗が乗りこみお祭りの雰囲気を盛り上げます。
五十数曲のレパートリーがあるといわれています。
Gion bayashi-a festial music band- get on a car-usually 7or8 persons- and perform gion music.They have 50 or more repertories,and their music make a special atmosphere of Gion.
