Yokobori is home to the Komachido temple. This celebrates the female poet of the Heian Period, Onono Komachi, who died here. Every year when peonies are in full bloom lading the air with scent, normally the second Sunday of June, local people host Komachi Matsuri at Komachido, and look back on the poet's life.
During the festival, seven "komachi musume" are reading out the waka poems, and small children parade through the area as well as the performance of Komachi Taiko drums. There is a photo session of komachi musume as well as other various events.
