Hashikura-ji Temple Autumn Grand Festival

About this event

This is the Autumn Grand Festival held every year on November 12 at Hashikura-ji Temple in Miyoshi City, Tokushima Prefecture. Coinciding with the auspicious day of Konpira Daigongen, prayers of gratitude for abundant harvests and good health are offered. The festival opens with the "Neri Kuyo," a procession of approximately 20 monks proceeding to the main hall, followed by the chanting of the Great Prajnaparamita sutras. At the climax, the "Fuku Mochi Throw" offering prizes takes place, and barrel sake is served to worshippers. This day offers a rare opportunity when members of the public can also enter the main hall and participate in the grand Buddhist service.
