About this event
Boasting a history of over 600 years since its enshrinement during the Muromachi period, the Yamaguchi Tenjin Festival is a traditional event coloring late autumn in Yamaguchi. Starting from Furukuma Shrine, the Sonae-tate procession and Goshinko procession advance through the streets of Yamaguchi City. Presenting scenes reminiscent of a historical picture scroll carrying the atmosphere of the Edo period to modern times, the procession recreating the sankin-kotai daimyo march and the Goshinko procession featuring attendants on horseback winding through the streets are a spectacular sight. A mochi-throwing ceremony is scheduled at Furukuma Shrine at 16:00. Traffic restrictions will also be in place on the day.
