Every year, Iiya Shrine in Hamamatsu holds an Annual Grand Festival on the 22nd of September, the day of the death of the God of worship. And at night, we comfort the spirits with hand-held fireworks and other divine events. On the day of the event, I drove my car to see the hand-held fireworks and visited Iiya Shrine. Powerful performance in which you hold a tube filled with gunpowder in your hand and are bathed in sparks all over your body It was powerful enough to blow away the summer heat

It was when I went to treasure climbing with my family. The view from the Observation decks was ✨ very beautiful The Okumiya shrine of the Treasure Mountain Shrine was also somewhat mysterious, and the rich Nature was very soothing.

Today, I attended the Kawagoe Hikawa Shrine Monthly Festival. It is said that there was something shining in the Iruma River every night, which is the Minamoto of Kawagoe Hikawa Shrine. Therefore, Prayer to Kawagoe Hikawa Shrine on a rainy day is said to please the gods.

On a rice field road a little outside the Hot spring resort town of Kinosaki, I found a Torii (shrine gate) gate and arrived here. The stairs to the worship hall were quite long, but it was a fun prayer to think that Naoya Shiga had walked the same way.

Photographed on September 3, 25. This is the Suzu Araragi wind chime of Tokyo Daijingu Shrine.

Hiroshima Prefecture visit yellowtail for more than 15 years, in Miyajima. Since I headed there after running errands, the time was around 18 o'clock, so I couldn't Prayer Shrine, but I decided to take a walk around Miyajima at dusk. While walking near the Torii (shrine gate) gate nestled in the low tide, I captured the moment I suddenly visited in my camera. The sight of the deer, who is said to be the messenger of the gods (and wearing magnificent horns), looking at the Torii (shrine gate) gate at dusk, was full of divinity, as if he was staring at the faces of his master.
