Main Festival portable shrine Fukagawa
An annual event that has been handed down since the Edo period. The god of Hachimangu Shrine is imperial procession, and as a thank you, carrying of miniature shrines in the town is being held.
On August 12, 2023, there will be more than 50 portable shrine in each town of shrine parishioner on August 13, and walk around the city of Fukagawa. "Tomioka Hachimangu Shrine Reitaisai festival (Fukagawa Hachiman Festival)" is portable shrine Koma numbered by portable shrine Union imperial procession.
In the precincts of Tomioka Hachimangu Shrine, there are Miya portable shrine, one of the gorgeous and gorgeous headquarters in Japan, and Ninomiya portable shrine, one small head office. The Ichinomiya portable shrine, which was delivered in 1991, weighs 4.5 tons, and is portable shrine Sennuki. Ninomiya portable shrine was built in 1997 because it was too large and heavy to carry.
The festival, which is very exciting with the vibrant "portable shrine" and the exciting "watering" is also known as the "watering festival". This is derived from portable shrine's bearers with clean water to support the festival. The water to be poured is prepared by each town council, etc., and the audience can participate and water the bearer.
I'm looking forward to seeing the Union imperial procession for the first time in six years.
