Mikoshi Town Gyotoku At this time of year, festivals are held in various places in the local Gyotoku! And Gyotoku was protected as the tenryō of Tokugawa Ieyasu. Gyotoku, which has a deep history, is both a little-known hidden gem spot and a place ♪ to feel autumn. [40% of the mikoshi in Japan] is Gyotoku mikoshi! !️ In 1991 (1991 (Heisei 3)) in Koto-ku, Tokyo The headquarters mikoshi of Tomioka Hachimangu Shrine was made as a mikoshi famous as the best golden mikoshi in Japan! It is a gorgeous mikoshi also called a billion yen mikoshi, but when this mikoshi was delivered, it seems that the funato shrine was reproduced spectacularly! Why don't you come ☺️ and see the mikoshi this autumn season?

10/1~10/31 only Oi Shrine is a monthly limited "obi shuin stamps". It is a gorgeous pattern related to our big festival "Obi Festival". Since it is transparent, you can also enjoy it through the scenery.

Was I able to leave any proof that a man like me existed in this world? A person's true worth is not determined by themselves. 『つわものどもが夢の跡…』

Sanadazaemon Sayukimura, who persevered in righteousness in the world of the warring states and crossed paths with Tokugawa Ieyasu, was killed in the Osaka summer camp. However, he was handed down as the number one soldier of Hihon, and the border from Tennoji to Osaka Castle was Sanada Yukimura's Bushido (Favorite quote, "Forget your indebtedness, devour your self-interest, can you call me a person?") I came around in red armor to feel it.

This is a shuin stamps for October only. At this shrine, we share a shuin stamps that changes the design every year and every month. Please note that it will take some time to draw by hand. If you are in a hurry, we also have a bookkeeper.

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

📍 Eiheiji Temple / Fukui A corridor bathed in autumn twilight light. The photos reminded me of the old days! The Eiheiji Temple was full of highlights and had a lot of fun!

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.

Senkusa Kannon-ji Temple has always been a popular temple. It is also almost a must-visit when visiting Tokyo. Ancient monastery with a history of thousands of years. A lot of small details are beautiful subjects for photography. I love this door button, quaint and textured.

◎What is Mokko Race? ◎ Mokka is a wooden carrying basket used by fishermen to carry the fish and kelp they caught. I want to make it a specialty project that is typical of the fishing town of Kushiro! I came up with the idea together with the students of Kushiro University of Education. It is a race in which those who can carry a mokko filled with kelp, run up the long approach road, and play a drum are given the title of "Lucky Man of the Sea". ●Date and Time● 2023 (Reiwa 5)October 9 (Mon) 13:00~15:00 * Canceled in case of rain ●Participant reception time 12:00~12:30 on the day * If you do not accept the application in time, you may be disqualified. * After applying in advance from this Google form, 　Please come to the reception area of the venue on the day of the event. ●Time Schedule ☆ 12:00 Mokko race participants gather & reception starts ☆ 12:45 We will exorcise the participants of the Mokko race ☆13:00 Mokko race starts (for each division) ☆ 14:30 General male division, guess the winner game (all visitors in the shrine precincts can participate) ☆ 14:45 General men's division final start ☆ 14:50 Announcement of the results of the game to guess the winner ☆14:55 Mokko Race Awards Ceremony ☆15:00 End * Depending on the progress of the day, the time may change) ※11:00~15:00 Children's festival & kitchen car & market will be held at the same time in the shrine precincts! 　Details are described later ↓ ●Mokko Race Participation Fee Free ●Number of Applicants● (1) 16 girls in grades 5-6 of elementary school (2) 16 boys in grades 5~6 of elementary school (3) General women (high school students and above): 16 (4) General male (high school students and above): 32 * There is no upper age limit for generals, and general men have a handicap depending on their age. * Deadline as soon as the capacity of each department is reached ●Participation Prize We offer wonderful participation prizes according to age.

Yabu Shrine in Yabu City, Hyogo Prefecture Speaking of autumn in Japan, it is also the time of 7.5.3, and I took 😀 a picture with autumn leaves at the time of 7.5.3 of my daughter. The autumn leaves here are wonderful, and at night, the bamboo is lit up on the road, creating a fantastic effect.

Oi Shrine is the water god of the Oi River, and there is a kami pond with clear water in its precincts, and the pure water from an old well flows into the precincts. The water temperature is almost constant all year round, so it feels cold in summer and warm in winter. The first pond was built in the precincts of the shrine in 1915, about 100 years ago, to commemorate the 300th anniversary of the relocation of Oi Shrine to the land of Shimada, and was built around the current parking lot on the side of the shrine office by the services of the veterans at that time. The current pond was moved to the center of the precincts in 1985 during the commemoration of the 60th anniversary of Emperor Showa's accession to the throne, and it is more magnificent in size and scenery than the previous pond. Now it is indispensable in the precincts, and it is a beautiful water scenery of the water god.

The plan that includes a prayer of 753 and location shooting is popular. If you wish to coordinate the schedule with the photographer, please contact us as soon as possible. Please enjoy it as an important memory with your children.

Today, we held the Chongyang Festival, Healing of Sickness and Health Prayer Festival. Odd numbers are Yang numbers, and the Chongyang Festival, which means that the maximum value of 9 overlaps, is the last of the five verses and is considered a day to celebrate longevity. It is also known as "Chrysanthemum Festival", but since chrysanthemums are used as medicinal herbs and are said to be beneficial for health and longevity, there was a custom of decorating and celebrating chrysanthemum flowers during the festival of Chongyang. At this shrine every year, only on this day, the sacred treasure "Enku Buddha" is open to the public. It is a Buddha statue carved by a monk called Enku, and since the Enku Buddha of this shrine is a medicine master Buddha holding a medicine urn in his hand, it is now open to the public on the day of celebration of health and longevity. Since this year was the first year after the Coronavirus pandemic, many people attended and performed the ritual.

At the Sick Healing and Health Prayer Festival, you can see the Enku Buddha, a tangible cultural property designated by the province, up close. ◇Sick Healing and Health Prayer Festival◇ Saturday, September 9, 2023 12:00 ~ Saiko Initial fee 5,000 yen, 7,000 yen, 10,000 yen For reservations, ☎please call 0154-41-4485
