On September 3, an autumn festival was held at Kitazawa Hachiman, near Shimokitazawa Station.
This is the place where the caretaker's father was born and raised. When he was young, he carried a portable shrine, and when the caretaker was a child, he was taken to various festivals.
I experienced the nostalgic atmosphere of Japanese culture during my stay in Japan from summer to autumn after a long absence.

Every time more than 20 portable shrines and portable shrines came into the crowded precincts, the opening was very exciting.
Each portable shrine parades through the town from eight districts around the shrine, and comes here to Hachimangu to thank for this year's harvest.
Each portable shrine has a different design, and it is interesting to compare them.
This Mikoshi of 45 Mutsumi is the local Mikoshi of my father who comes from the farthest from Hachimangu Shrine.

In front of the main hall, lift the portable shrine high with one hand and hit the portable shrine with one hand.
The excitement culminates.
The area from the portable shrine to the main hall was filled with spectators.

It was a very exciting day.
