April 8th is the Holy Day of the birth of the Buddha.
At Daikanonji Temple in Ningyocho, the "Flower Festival" event has been held every year.
This year, the Holy Day of the birth of the Buddha was Saturday, and many people came.
We make "Hanamido" decorated with flowers on the precincts and add sweet tea to the standing statue in the hall to celebrate. There was also a special opening of the main deity.
On the day of the event, there was a service of sweet tea and Japanese sweets, as well as a fun raffle where visitors could win masterpieces from Ningyocho.
After visiting, you will receive a small size rice cracker and draw a speed lottery, and if you win, you will receive various prizes from a famous restaurant in Ningyocho. Even if the lottery goes off, you can enjoy sweet tea and Japanese sweets in the tent below the stairs.
Sweet tea and Japanese sweets placed on a small tray were served, and they sat and ate on a bench with red rugs. Beside it, Ningyocho's character "Hininnosuke" was also charming.
It was a rainy day from time to time, but I felt refreshed when I worshiped.
