Celebrate the birth of Tenjin-sama, Shinto god of literature. Children march with mikoshi (portable shrines) and walk through woven hoops for good health. Watch the yukata (summer kimono) parade – or wear one and join in! On Jul. 25 candles bedeck the bridge at night with shrine maidens dancing to sacred music.
