More than 20 portable shrines stand in a line, shrine maidens dance, and festival music fills the air. Adults and children alike share in the joy and gratitude to the Ujigami, a special two-day event that occurs once a year.
We invite everyone to join us for this autumn festival to give thanks for a bountiful harvest and to celebrate the blessings of the season with the Ujigami.
