【Mystery solving Events at Gion Shrine】 On Saturday, February 22, a mystery-solving Events was Held in at Gion Shrine in the Kuraoka area, and 👏 its name was "Gion Shrine Real Mystery Solving "As God Says". 💡 Local high school students and students from Gokase Secondary School took the lead in preparing for this Events 😳✨ in collaboration with Local companies Gokase Entertainment and Kuraoka Love Girls' Association Many participants, from children to adults, gathered, and lively voices echoed 🤗🎶 in the Precincts of Gion Shrine However, the problem of solving the mystery is quite difficult until there is inspiration and discovery... The person who posted it also thought hard, but in the end I didn't understand and 🤣 borrowed the wisdom of the children lol. As I solved the riddle, I was able to learn the correct way to prayer Gion Shrine, but 😯💡 I didn't know such manners at all, so I made many new discoveries and it was 🤩 very fun After solving the mystery, the battle with the gods (dressed as the students of Gokase Secondary School) awaits ⚔️ in the first and second parts The first part of Roux's game "Sengoku Gokase Town" is the first part 💪, in which the first person to approach the place where the god is located and drop the ball on the shoulder with the sword first wins In the second part 👐, the "rope" of the loot won in the first part is placed in a circle and placed on the ground as a Dohyo (sumo ring), and a "hand-pushed sumo" match with the gods Both Adults and children were Gari and full of smiles 😆 from start to finish When you complete all the processes, you will receive a "Mystery Solving Completion Certificate", but if you look closely, the color is different depending on the person ... 🤔？ In fact, the hand-pushed sumo in the second part was modeled after the dedication sumo wrestling in which the gods were entertained in the "Morimaki Shinto ritual" held at Gion Shrine, and it was 🤣 said that "it is more correct to lose to the gods", so the "mystery solving completion certificate" of the person who lost the hand-pushed sumo was shining in gold It was 🥹✨ wonderful to feel the students' attention to detail in the setting At the end, all the participants and students took a commemorative photo, and warm Tea was served as a participation prize provided by Seuseien, and the Events ended 😌👏 in a peaceful and lively manner Thereare 🥹 the excitement of Gokase Town at Events created by students, Local companies, and local organizations I would ✨ like to continue to work together as a town to enliven Gokase Town
