Wind music in Nishinomiya is really amazing, isn’t it? ♡ I’m sure the performances that day will be wonderful too…🎶
The 60th Nishinomiya Daidaikagura Festival
Here↓
This one will be held in the afternoon. It seems that numbered tickets to participate in the “Otanoshimi Shinzen Kuji” shrine lottery will be handed out to the first 100 people from 13:00. Since it’s women’s bugaku, does that mean all the dancers are women? The costumes look gorgeous and well worth seeing!
Ebessan Prayer Notebook
While walking around the shrine, I found this sign.
I went ahead and got one! It seems to be intended for children in elementary school or younger.
This is what the inside looks like. You can get stamps by participating in shrine events. It seems that if you collect 10 or more stamps, you can receive a commemorative gift. You can also get stamps for ceremonies such as Shichi-Go-San and Jusan Mairi, so if you live nearby or have a connection to the shrine, why not pick one up?

The address is 1-17 Shakecho, Nishinomiya, Hyogo Prefecture.
Finally
I was honestly surprised to learn that Nishinomiya Shrine has this many events throughout the year! There are also lots of events that children can take part in. I’d love to visit, receive some “fuku” good fortune, and pray that everyone can stay healthy throughout the year🙏🙏🙏
