I went 🙏 to Kashima Jingu Shrine [Nishi Ichinotorii gate] built in Kitaura and my car Legacy B4🚙 And the shrine 🦊 of [Mitarai Pond] at the end of Okunoin and [Inari Daimyojin] where the torii gate in the foreground is not painted vermilion for some reason

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.

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.

Hidden Gem in Taiki Town📌 A larch planted in 1906 at Hokai Shrine in the Kaishin district of Taiki Town to commemorate victory in the Russo-Japanese War still stands today as a designated commemorative protected tree. It reaches about 27 meters in height and 80 centimeters in diameter. This larch, alive for nearly 120 years, is well worth a visit! Please note that the surrounding area is farmland and pasture, so do not enter the fields.

The mikoshi ceremony is held on the evening of the yamaboko procession day of the Gion Festival. Three mikoshi and their bearers gather in front of the Yasaka Shrine gate. Even when shooting from a distance with a telephoto lens, I could feel the enthusiasm of the bearers and the audience.

I went to the [wind chime Festival] of Kawagoe Hikawa Shrine Under the large torii gate, the [windmill] is 🥹 amazing. #Festivals #Photo Contest

Otofuke Shrine I visited Otofuke Shrine on a sunny day! The enshrined deity at Otofuke Shrine is Amaterasu Omikami, the same deity worshiped at the Ise Grand Shrine. As a guiding and leading deity, Amaterasu is said to grant blessings for overcoming difficulties, pioneering progress, good fortune and prosperity, and success in new ventures! This spot is also known for possible encounters with Ezo squirrels, red foxes, and owls♪ Be sure to pay a visit and offer your prayers ✨

Utsunomiya Futarasan Shrine festival also returned The cheers of the children are fun

One piece at the local festival "Nakatsu Gion". She is procession while dedicating a dance in her own town. One of the pieces of this summer festival.

Hanachozu of a shrine in Ichinomiya City, Aichi Prefecture. It became a summery piece. It is only served with flowers, and it feels a little cooler.

I went to Hida Takayama for the first time last year hand-held fireworks. A hand-held fireworks is launched in the hope of getting rid of evil. The heroic appearance of the fireworks master who launches his hand-held fireworks while bathed in sparks is always cool to see.

This is one of the photos taken at the Mitama Festival held at Yasukuni Shrine in Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo. The bearers and mikoshi were illuminated by the countless lanterns on the side of the approach, further enhancing the divinity.

I would like to post the Kangen-sai Festival of Miyajima, but it seems that this is also delayed.

Summer is all about fireworks I first saw it in Tatebayashi a few years ago hand-held fireworks I was captivated by this brave figure.

Hiroshima Atomic Bomb Dome Recommended PEACE spots in Hiroshima #Atomic Bomb Dome @hiroshima_peace_tourism @sumiyosijinja In the Hiroshima Kangen-sai Festival of Sumiyosashi, the first "rowing horse boat" in three years cruised from Sumiyoshi Shrine to Atomic Bomb Dome in front of Sumiyoshi Shrine, and the voices of the Han people rowing the boat echoed in this Motoyasu River, and it was a moment filled with the feeling and excitement that the festival had returned. It's dusk time when we are grateful for our peaceful daily life. ☺️ Let me 🙏✨✨ post another one tomorrow from a different angle.

Obihiro Shrine 'Natsu-mode' I visited for worship at dusk. Flower-filled water displays run through August 1. The gathering hall is also said to host a giant flower display through August 15. It takes about 15 minutes by car from the Tokachigawa Onsen district to Obihiro Shrine. ■Natsu-mode Flower Hand-Water ～TOKONATSU～ "Volume 25" Reiwa 5 June 30–July 2 Finished "Volume 26" Reiwa 5 July 15–July 17 Finished "Volume 27" Reiwa 5 July 29–August 1 [Ongoing] "Volume 28" Reiwa 5 August 11–August 15 (Scheduled) ■Reisai Flower Hand-Water ～MIYUKI～ "Volume 29" Reiwa 5 September 22–September 25 (Scheduled)

In summer, you still want to go see the sea. This is Ine Town, Ine's Funaya. The sea is as beautiful as I have ever seen it. The green of the rice fields, the blue of the sea and the blue of the sky. It's beautiful. In autumn, the contrast between the golden color of the rice terraces and the sea will surely be wonderful, so I would like to go there again around that time.

My first Bon Odori. There are so many things I've never seen at the shrine that I can't stop being excited about!

Was in Sapporo over the weekend for an errand and had enough time to stop by a few places before having to leave. Took a walk through Nakajima Park early in the morning and saw a turtle and a heron relaxing by one of the ponds. There were also a bunch of ducks enjoying breakfast in the grass nearby. Also managed to stop by Hokkaido Shrine and and the Sapporo Beer Museum, both of which were very cool. I really liked the architecture of Hokkaido Shrine, and it was fun reading the signs to read about the different emperors that had visited the shrine and in what year. The beer museum was fun as well. Learning about all the history was really cool, and seeing the different advertisements used throughout the years was pretty neat as well. Ended up buying matching cups and I got a shirt as well. Hokkaido Shrine and the Sapporo Beer Museum are definitely two of the best spots to visit in Sapporo if you ask me. I would have liked to visit Shiroi Koibito Park as well, but they were already closed by the time we were able to visit, so I guess that’ll have to wait for next time. Was a great time overall.

A strange festival held in the precincts of Toyoishi Shrine in Taketoyo Town, Chita District, Aichi Prefecture "Jaguruma Festival" The sight of a hand-held fireworks resembling a dragon's mouth waving from side to side from the top of the float is truly a strange festival. Aichi Prefecture has many strange festivals related to fire festivals, but this was also the first time I went there and it was a masterpiece.
