愛染まつり
Aizendo Shomanin
Jun 30–Jul 2

Young ladies in their summer kimono fill the town during this religious festival which began with young women going to temples to pray for their ideal match. Hoe-kago – decorative palanquins carrying specially selected girls, who will later take part in a beauty contest at the temple – will parade through the streets on the 30th. Traditional dancing, games, and food stalls are a big part of this festival.
