Lucilky we happened to been there on Shrine's autumn festival.
Saw beautiful Omikoshi* and some Oni (Jap devil) around the street.
I think now is peak period for Autumn festival in whole Japan.
(*portable shrine. people carry Omikoshi and walk around the sorrounding area,
to thank and to play for nature god. lastly go to shrine and present it to nature god.
Have several variety depends on region, my region only children carry this kind of Omikoshi,
guys will carry straw rice bag Omikoshi)
nice Omikoshi...my hometown's were not so nice...hahaha
