Sumiyoshi Shrine This shrine is located in Kakuda City, Miyagi Prefecture, and is said to have been founded on March 29, 1326 in the first year of the Kareki calendar (Kamakura period) by soliciting the spirits of Sumiyoshi Shrine in Kitsu Province (present-day Osaka City). The cherry blossoms in full bloom on the approach road of about 100 meters are very impressive, and it is a hidden gem spot for hidden cherry blossoms.

The storm passes, and the Sumida River in the spring. The late-blooming cherry blossoms, which withstood the wind and rain, bloomed and shone more and more. The sun is shining and the cherry blossoms are refreshing. I let my heart play with nostalgia and tried to pretend to be a Taisho romance. If you open a Japanese umbrella on the awning, it is as if the flag of the sun floats in the sky. On the other side of the river, there are rows of pink cherry blossom trees, and beyond that is the Sky Tree, which pierces the clear sky. The sailors seemed to be enjoying the unique scenery of Tokyo, where tradition and elegance are mixed. The spring breeze shook the cherry blossoms and gently caressed her hair and cheeks.

My first trip to Kyoto with her. The two of us visited the Keage Incline, which was left as the site of the inclined railway, wearing kimonos. When I looked up at the cherry blossom trees lining the old railroad tracks, I saw swollen buds hanging in front of me. I felt the arrival of Spring in her back with the warm sunlight shining through.

The Oi Shrine Grand Festival is also called the "Obi Festival" and is a festival in which the god of Oi Shrine returns to the old shrine site (inn) once every three years. Today, for three days including the second Sunday in October, a gorgeous festival is held in the town of Shimada where dainu, daimyo processions, Kashima odori, street stall dances from 1st Avenue to 5th Avenue, and ground dances are held. Especially on the last day, all of them form a large procession together with the mikoshi procession, and they slowly parade for a whole day for a round trip of about 4 km from Oi Shrine to the inn. Due to the appearance and swing of the dainu at this time, as well as the unique form of Kashima Odori, the obi festival has come to be counted as one of the three strange festival in Japan.

Located in Ugo Town, Akita Prefecture, Nishi Baonnai Bon Odori is a summer festival with a history and tradition of more than 700 years, which is counted as one of the three major Bon Odori dances in Japan along with the Gujo Odori of Gifu Prefecture and the Awa Odori of Tokushima Prefecture. The venue is Nishimaonnai Honmachi Street, which is the central village of Ugo Town, and it is a bon event held for 3 days from August 16th ~ 18th every year. It was mysterious and gorgeous to see dancers dressed in distinctive torioi hats (knitted hats), colorful and beautifully stitched kimonos and yukatas, dancing gracefully to the beating of taiko drums and songs. Especially this year, as it was the first regular event in four years, people from outside the town were able to participate in the dance, and many people from inside and outside the prefecture came to see it. Photos of the festival will continue after this, but I hope you can see it.
