Flower Festival (Kamikoshi Watami)

Flower Festival (Kamikoshi Watami)

Event Overview

The flower festival is one of the three Ujiko festivals held on the fourth Sunday of April, when the cherry blossoms in the precincts are in full bloom. When Ujiko, who was in trouble with crop failures, prayed to the shrine, the festival began in the year of Yasunaga 7 (1778) in appreciation of this, as the climate was restored and the plantings were improved. The Kamikondo is performed from 11 to 19 o'clock (Kamikondo is three times a year).
