On Saturday, I returned to the shrine to check out the festival. The mood had changed completely. Instead of the stately parade I had witnessed the day before, things were definately more exciting. Each portable shrine is brought just outside the compound. When it is their turn to enter the shrine, the portable shrine is hoisted on the shoulders of its keepers with cheers and shouts. It reminded me of a pep rally!

Hey Mr. Lahr,
Sounsd fun! I don't really like pep rallys, but the shrines seem amazing. They must really love their culture in Japan.
