Kishibojinn-kou"(the
Buddhist goddess for childbirth and rearing)
It's held on June 27|28 in the precincts of
Honpo-ji temple in Shin-machi every year. In these two days
such demonstrations as the morning glory show, band concerts,
hulas, stalls and picture card show and so on are shown there.
People also can enjoy beer in the beer garden attached to
the shrine.
The festival makes us feel Fukushima summer is here at last
! It's not a big festival but this festival is definitely
recommended.
