I went to the Oyachi Annual Grand Festival in Oyachi, Atsubetsu Ward, Sapporo City. This is the festival I was doing on the 22nd and 23rd. I visited the gods and said, "I will bother you," and went around the food stalls with two people, Honey Citrus @ Rainy Day and Sakuranomiya Alice. Personally, I liked that some of the chairs in the venue looked like school chairs. I bought shangpin and okonomiyaki and ate them. It tasted festival and was delicious!　okonomiyaki was asked by the clerk, "Is mayonnaise okay?" When I replied, he added more mayonnaise than I expected. You did it. At the festival of Oyachi Shrine, they also hold events on stage, such as band performances, folk songs and Japanese drum performances, hula dances, games, and bingo tournaments, so I would like to see them next year. This year, I couldn't go to the festival at all due to my poor health on a rainy day and the busyness of Alice Sakuranomiya, but since there are various festival in various places in Hokkaido, the two of us said, "I want to go to various festival next year."

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. In addition, since the Edo period, first-class entertainers from Edo have been invited to choreographed dances in each town, Nagauta, and shamisen, and Nagauta in particular is also called "Nagauta Festival" because the iemoto of each school competed for throat.

Itsukushima Shrine offers costumes for Shichigosan. We will lend you kimonos or costumes for 3-year-old boys, 5-year-old boys, and 7-year-old girls. The number is limited, so please make a reservation as soon as possible if you wish. ☎0154－41－4485 First fruit fee (including costume) 7,000 yen, 10,000 yen

Autumn leaves of Kamakura Kakuenji that shine in the water bowl.

When I visited the shrine in Nara, the autumn leaves were so splendid that I released the shutter.

On both sides of the approach to the shrine with a view of the worship hall, there is a pair of stone top dogs, which always protect the gods. This powerful and dignified komainu was dedicated in 1938 by a then-famous Japanese confectionery shop called "Oki Kyodo" in Hondori 5-chome, Shimada, the year after the start of the Sino-Japanese War (China Incident), and was carved by Shimada stonemason Masuno-chohei. The right pedestal is carved with the words "Takeyu" and the left pedestal is carved with "Nagahisa", and it seems that it is a top dog dedicated to pray for Japan's victory and peace, and the safety of those who went to war.

The color of the wall pillars of the Kasuga Taisha Shrine is very bright and bright. A whole row of palace lamps, very bright under the lens. It's not far from Todaiji Temple, and there is Nara Park in the middle where you can take photos with the cute reindeer. Kasuga Taisha Shrine is a very famous Shinto shrine. Tourists are full of tourists, and they are also very devout about faith. It is a must-see when visiting Nara.

In the precincts of this shrine, there is the Kushiro Gokoku Shrine, which enshrines the spirits of the Kushiro area. We serve at the monthly memorial service and the war memorial service on August 15. Please visit the main shrine of Itsukushima Shrine.

Danzan Shrine in autumn is exceptional. Sakurai City, Nara Prefecture Danzan Shrine
