• Annual festival ritual at the main shrine hall (from 10:00) 🙏
• Children’s mikoshi shrine offering (around 11:00–12:00): four local portable shrines will make their way to the shrine approach 🎐
• Music event “Narune Festival” (13:00–17:00) 🎵
• Various food and game stalls (karaage, candy apples, fries, cotton candy, smart ball, shooting gallery, Punyo ball scooping, castella, and more) 🍧
• Children’s events for the city’s 100th anniversary: write a wish for the Hyakutokai lantern lighting, make bath bombs, kaleidoscopes, colorful candles, free crafts (decorating with pinecones and more), and collect stamps in a stamp rally to enter a lottery 🧒
• Mukogawa Women’s University seminar booth: haniwa contest and haniwa-making experience, plus reflector can badge making 🎓

Lastly

A haniwa-making experience is a little unusual, isn’t it? It’s also nice that there will be all kinds of workshops, like making bath bombs and kaleidoscopes. There will be plenty of stalls too, and it’s always a festival with a warm, welcoming atmosphere, so if you live nearby, be sure to check it out.
