It is Itsukushima Shrine, the guardian deity of Kushiro located in Kushiro City, Hokkaido. The approach road leading from the first torii gate becomes a green tunnel in summer, and you can worship while feeling the sacred air with your whole body.

When visiting Tokyo, I happened to come across the Asakusa Sansha Festival. So leave this scene. Support for the gods, men, women and children, is very hard. It's really touching. I am honored to have the opportunity to come across such a festival.

It is a temple where the red spider liliies blooming around the stairs is too nice. It's my favorite place. Ogaki, Gifu 2022/10 Shot on iPHONE 11 PRO

Kagawa Prefecture Megijima "Sumiyoshi Shrine Grand Festival" festival dedicated to the god of the island – The shrine festival at Megijima island There is a surprisingly unknown island culture Kagawa Prefecture and in Takamatsu City Megijima and Ogijima take turns holding a summer festival every year, carrying a drum stand made of ropes handed down in Isshi Sōden and parading around the island. As the name suggests, the god of the island is a woman, and it has been handed down as a festival forbidden to women since ancient times so as not to be jealous. Drum stands are dropped and rolled wildly toward the gods, and at the end of the festival, the drum stands go into the sea. It seemed difficult to go through the small torii gate.

When I visited Megijima for the first time in a long time, a festival was being held on that day, so I took a picture.

It's a small festival, but I hope that traditional culture and festivals like this will be passed on to future generations so that they do not decline.

Aichi Prefecture's Taketoyo snake cart festival, "Snake Wheel fireworks," is a fireworks that is related to the tragic love legend between a dragon's daughter and a human, and the sight of a hand-held fireworks that resembles a dragon's mouth waving from the top of the festival float to the left and right is extremely spectacular.

The hand-held fireworks is a fireworks that has been handed down mainly in the Higashi-Mikawa region of Aichi Prefecture, has a history of more than 450 years, and is said to have originated from Yoshida Shrine in Toyohashi City. The fryer holds the fireworks tube firmly with both hands next to his side, erupts a huge pillar of fire, and finally a flame called "Hane" erupts at his feet with a loud sound.

Tohoku Aomori's Nebuta Festival is famous. Also located in Hirosaki and Goshogawara Sometimes it is crowded and you can only go on weekdays, so I happened to be recommended by a person from Aomori. I did a lot of research and went to see The Tachineputa in Goshogawara is amazing, and the maker of Tachineputa is amazing, but the height was a little over 20m. I hope you can convey its power in the photo. It's usually displayed in the Tachineputa pavilion in the city, and there are three big ones, but there are various large and small things, and the tuna that I used to do alone is my favorite.

It's not that bright, so the atmosphere of dancing in it is great. The dancer dances bewitching and beautiful to the tips of the fingers And the local chick (with a little understory) songs and whispers that liven it up are also good, I hope you can convey the sense of realism in the photos.
