Mikawa Okaeri Matsuri
美川おかえりまつり
15-16 May 2010
From Hot-Ishikawa
This spring festival features a parade of the city’s 13 gold-and-silver-lacquered mikoshi (portable shrines) around the Fujitsuka Jinja. The parade departs from the Fujitsuka Jinja on the morning of Saturday, 15 May, and continues late into the night. On the dawn of Sunday, 16 May, the mikoshi are carried back to the shrine.
According to Hot-Ishikawa, this event draws a lot of sight-seers from out of town. This style of mikoshi is exceptionally beautiful, and Ishikawa’s mikoshi parades have a wonderfully fun atmosphere.
