The Festival Helds on This Weekend.

Hi.
What is your schedule on this weekend?
Tokasan helds from this Friday through Sunday.
It is name of a festival at Hiroshima's shrine.
There are many people in the shrine and enjoy it.
On these three days, the street are lined with many stalls.

Originally, the festival pray for a good harvest and health.
When farmers finished their rice-planting, they pray for God.
People change their clothes and wear a Yukata for the summer.
The festival signal the coming of the new season.

These years, rather than praying harvest, people enjoy the yukata and many kinds of games and foods at the stalls.
Of course, a lot of people visit to the shrine and pray for their good health.
For the yukata, many people wear it on the feastival days because it have traces of the past.

If you want to go to the festival, you visit to Hacchobori in Hiroshima.
It takes place around Enryu temple which was called Inari temple by many people.
Why don't you visit there and enjoy it?
