Autumn Festival

First I would introduce autumn festival in my hometown. We go temple carrying a portable shrine on our shoulder. There are some events there like Sumo and karaoke. After that we carry a portable shrine again and distribute kind of charm to neighbor. They receive a reward of money. That’s the reason we take part(:

Next I introduce famous autumn festival in Gifu Prefecture.

Hanauma Festival
This is a traditional festival. And it is held in Sakasita town every August. Three horses walk street carrying ornaments with children. As soon as horses arrive Sakasita temple, people scramble for them. It is said good thing will happen if they can get them.
