Nearly every community in Japan has their own festival in the month of October, celebrating the coming of Autumn. Some festivals are Nationally renown, with an elaborate history, others are more quaint. On this particular weekend, the community of Shinzaike held their festival, and welcomed the English teachers living in the area to help celebrate. It begins at 9AM on a Sunday morning, with a traditional raising of the portable shrine, followed by a shot of sake! We spend the better part of a day parading the shine around town and showing off our stuff to the other communities. Mecha-Tanoshikata Desu! [So much fun!]
