A special day that comes once every four years! I went to the Senzu Festival in Kawane Town!

#EnjoyJapan I went to see the Senzu Festival, which takes place only once every four years in Senzu, Kawane Town! This small town surrounded by mountains is filled with excitement and is very lively on this day. I was particularly moved by the scene where the mikoshi (portable shrine) was powerfully paraded through the town. The shouts and smiles of the locals, and even the participation of children, made it feel like the whole town was united! I just popped in for sightseeing, and was lucky to come across such a traditional festival by chance. It was a valuable experience to experience the traditional Japanese scenery and the warmth of the people. Basic information about the place Name: Senzu Taisai Location: Senzu area, Kawanehon-cho, Haibara-gun, Shizuoka Prefecture Frequency: Once every four years Main content: Mikoshi parade, traditional performing arts, local stalls, etc. Access: Within walking distance from Senzu Station on the Oigawa Railway I visited the Senzu Taisai, a traditional festival held only once every four years in Kawanehoncho, Senzu. The whole town came alive with energy, especially during the mikoshi (portable shrine) parade through the streets. Locals of all ages joined in, shouting cheers and carrying the shrine with pride. It felt like the entire community was coming together, and I was lucky to witness such a powerful moment of tradition and unity. If you're ever in Japan and happen to be nearby during this rare event, it's absolutely worth experiencing!
