During the Tsuyama Festival, you will experience pulling a danjiri (traditional Japanese float) from the Tsuyama Castle West Neighborhood Association, and receive a specially made happi coat for this tour. The Tsuyama Festival is a collective name for the autumn festivals of Osumi Shrine, the guardian of the evil direction of Tsuyama Castle in the east, Tokumori Shrine, the general guardian of Tsuyama Castle, and Mimasaka Ninomiya and Takano Shrine in the west. The contrast of the danjiri parading through the beautiful castle town, known as the "Little Kyoto of the West," is a highlight of the festival. In this festival, the danjiri parades after the Tokumori Shrine mikoshi (portable shrine) begins its procession. The mikoshi parades westward, but the danjiri turns and changes direction halfway through, proceeding to the event venue and lining up to give a grand welcome to the mikoshi. After that, the danjiri departs for the remaining unified parade route (the latter half). On the day of the event, please come to Tsuyama City, Mimasaka Province, and experience it for yourself.
