Welcome Festival

Welcome Festival

Event Overview

Thirteen luxury bogies, including the yagata, the umbrella, and the ship's shape, lead the eight-sided, four-door, elaborate and brilliant Shinkoshi. Once every 10 years, the houses of the return home will host a feast from the meaning of gratitude and prayer. It is said that the reason for performing a full dress in a white cross on a crested hakama is a tribute to the fact that Ninna-ji Temple (Omuro Imperial Palace) in Kyoto (1857) gave a bow with a chrysanthemum coat.
