Celebrate the birth of Tenjin-sama, the Shinto god of literature! See children march with mikoshi (portable shrines), walk through the woven hoop for good health, and watch the yukata (summer kimono) parade – or join in! At 20:00 on Jul. 25, shrine maidens dance to sacred music near the candle-bedecked bridge.
