<\/p>\nDating back approximately 600 years, the Miyajidake Shrine’s Autumn Festival is an awe-inspiring event. Celebrated to give thanks for bountiful harvests in the autumn and to pray for agricultural prosperity in the spring, this festival is the shrine’s largest and most elaborate of the year. Throughout the festival, a variety of events are held, including judo tournaments and dedicatory dances. <\/p>\n
One of the highlights is the “Gojinkousai” parade, which takes place at 1 p.m. on both the first and final days. Resembling an imperial procession from the Heian period, a chosen “Festival King” dresses in traditional “Juni-Hitoe” (twelve-layer robe) and is carried on a palanquin from Miyajihama Beach to the shrine, a distance of about 2 km. <\/p>\n
Mark your calendar for the 22nd, when approximately 1,000 fireworks will illuminate the sky, symbolizing the release of everyday worries and the fulfillment of wishes. Don’t miss this deeply spiritual and visually captivating event.<\/p>\n
