 Fukushima
Inari shrine Annual Festival |
| When the fragrant of the olives in the air, "Autumn Festival
of Fukushima Inari Shrine" is coming. People call this shrine
"Oinari-San" with friendly feeling. This festival is held
in the weekend before Sports Day. Many Shinto rituals are
held in these days. Fukushima Inari Shrine "Gohonja Ichinomiya
Mikoshi" is solemnly carried and shown by the parishioners
of the Shrine in the middle of the festival. Ahead of this
festival, "Ninomiya Mikoshi" carried by "Fukushima Mikoshi
lifting group" parades toward Inari Shrine. In the afternoon,
"Fukushima Autumn Festival Floats" is held. 18 floats owned
by parishioners of the Shrine, gather round the streets of
Fukushima Station. When the floats begins to head for Inari
Shrine, the festival comes to the climax. Many stalls are
set up around Inari Shrine. It's fun to look in the stalls. |
