Tenpaizan Moon Viewing Party
This harvest moon viewing festival is held to comfort the soul of Sugawara no Michizane, the Shinto god of learning. Watch the goshinka (sacred torch) relay race (16:30), join a tea ceremony (17:00), and browse the nearby bazaar for light snacks. Aside from moon viewing, a Shinto dedication including a gagaku (Japanese court music) performance and shrine maiden dance will also be held. Stay until 20:40 for the fireworks display!
