This is May in Japan.
Kitakyusyu-city which I introduced before.
The blog article, please click here →Kitakyusyu-city
Today I'd like to introduce one of my recommendations in Kitakyushu-city.
It is my recommendation, "Kokura Gion Matsuri".
It is annual festival of Yasaka-jinja Shrine enshrined in Kokura Castle, and an old festival having the history of about 390 years.
This festival is held every year in the middle of July.
People play the taiko drums at this festival.
They beat the taiko drums to pray for "All the world is at peace" "country peace and security" "staple grains abundant harvest" "business prosperity" "peace and prosperity in the household".
Around the Kokura Castle where is the place of the festival, there are many food stands.
It is fun to go around the stands.
The traditional festival,Kokuru Gion Matsuri is very interesting !!
It's my recommendation!!
