Taking place from Sep 21 to 23, it marks the season with rites of gratitude for divine blessings, following spring prayers for a bountiful harvest, and brings together traditional ceremonies, processions, food, live performances and fireworks.<\/p>\n<p>The main highlight is the Goshinko Procession, a colorful spectacle reminiscent of an imperial court procession. At 12:00 on Sep 21, the procession travels from the shrine to Miyajihama, while at 13:00 on Sep 23, it makes the return journey from Miyajihama to the shrine. The festival\u2019s ceremonial Saio, dressed in a twelve-layered junihitoe robe, proceeds along the roughly 2 km route with mikoshi, shrine priests and court officials.<\/p>\n<p>Around 80 kitchen cars and market stalls gather during the three-day festival, alongside children\u2019s dance performances and live music. On Sep 22 at 20:00, the Negai Kanae! Good Luck Fireworks Festival lights up the autumn night sky with around 1,000 fireworks launched with wishes and prayers in mind.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/fn_miyajidake-shrine-autumn-festival_2026_cl-001.jpg?resize=1400%2C1089&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Miyajidake Shrine Autumn Festival, \u5bae\u5730\u5dbd\u795e\u793e \u79cb\u5b63\u5927\u796d\" width=\"1400\" height=\"1089\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-179640\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/fn_miyajidake-shrine-autumn-festival_2026_cl-001.jpg?w=1400&amp;ssl=1 1400w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/fn_miyajidake-shrine-autumn-festival_2026_cl-001.jpg?resize=300%2C233&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/fn_miyajidake-shrine-autumn-festival_2026_cl-001.jpg?resize=1024%2C797&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/fn_miyajidake-shrine-autumn-festival_2026_cl-001.jpg?resize=768%2C597&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Sep. 21, 2026 (Mon, hol) ~ Sep. 23, 2026 (Wed, hol)<\/li>\n<li>13:00~ (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/en\/event\/kaiun-fireworks-fes-26\/\">Fireworks Festival<\/a> on Sep. 22 starts at 20:00)<\/li>\n<li>Miyajidake Shrine<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/maps.app.goo.gl\/4fAp4akm7VbujF8C8\" target=\"_blank\">7-1 Miyajimotomachi, Fukutsu City, Fukuoka<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.miyajidake.or.jp\/news\/topics\/\" target=\"_blank\">Website<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Held for around 700 years, the Autumn Grand Festival is the largest annual festival at Miyajidake Shrine.
