SUMMARY:Miyajima Tamatori Festival
DESCRIPTION:A bunch of almost naked men clambering on top of one another in the sea trying to capture a lucky ball on a hot summer day!  \n \nThe annual Tamatori (literally ‘treasure ball grab’) Festival is said to be based on a ritual one dates back to hundreds of years. After a ceremony within Itsukushima Shrine a ball is placed on a kind of tray which is suspending from a scaffold built over the water in front of the shrine. Teams of men dressed only in loincloths battle to reach and capture the ball while the tray moves up and down in hope of securing a year of good fortune.  \nThis year the festival is to be held in the during the morning\, but the start time depends on the tides. The main battle for the balls in 2026 is scheduled to be around 10:30 am\, but you can call Miyajima Tourist Association on (0829) 44-2011 to confirm ahead of time.

SUMMARY:Lantern Floating Ceremony
DESCRIPTION:Hiroshima’s annual Peace Memorial Day concludes with the poignant and beautiful August 6 floating ceremony on the Motoyasu River. \n \nEvery year on the evening of August 6\, thousands of people make their way to the banks of the Motoyasu River that runs below the Atomic Bomb Dome\, along the edge of the Peace Memorial Park. Here\, they set colorful paper lanterns bearing personal appeals for peace and to\, once more\, commemorate those who lost their lives in the bombing\, many of whom took their final painful breaths before succumbing to their injuries in this stretch of water. \nEveryone is welcome\, and encouraged\, to take part. There is a 1000 yen charge to cover costs\, and all you have to do is line up for your paper\, add your message\, and then line up again (this part can take a while) to make your way down to the riverside\, where volunteers will help you wrap the paper around a wooden frame and light the lantern. Then\, you can step down to the water and set it afloat with the 10\,000 or so others. \nYou can buy the paper to wrap around your lantern from early in the morning until 8:30 pm. The lantern floating begins on the bank of the Motoyasu River\, opposite the A-bomb Dome Memorial\, from 6 pm after a 30-minute ceremony. Lanterns can be floated on the river until 9 pm. \nReceiving and creating your lantern wrapper can usually be done quite quickly\, but you should be prepared to wait in a long line to reach the embankment from where you can set it afloat. Understandably\, people on the embankment take some time to reflect and also to take photographs\, but the line does move relatively quickly. We recommend having a fan to keep you cool while waiting\, especially on still nights \nIf you are unable to attend the lantern floating in the evening\, or feel the wait might be too long\, volunteers are happy to float your lantern on your behalf. Just let the staff at the reception desk know. \nA word for those with young children\nDisplays describing the aftermath of the A-bombing\, which include some graphic images\, along the path along which you line up to float your lanterns. \nThe official Hiroshima lantern floating is organized by Chushinren.

SUMMARY:Sumiyoshi-san Summer Festival
DESCRIPTION:Sumiyoshi-san\, along with the Tokasan and Ebessan festivals\, is one of Hiroshima city’s big three annual shrine festivals that have long histories. \n\nSumiyoshi Shrines are dedicated to water gods\, and Sumiyoshi Shrine is located right next to the river in Sumiyoshi-cho on Route 2. It’s a real local festival\, and the neighborhood streets are lined with the usual festival food and game stalls. Many people visit the shrine over the course of two days to pray for good health and fortune. There are several nautical rituals involving traditional\, oar-powered boats that make the journey all the way to the A-bomb Dome and back\, and the floating of small boats on the river. As well as kids’ kagura shows\, each night finishes with a short fireworks display. \nAt the heart of the festival is the Nagoshi no Ōharae\, an ancient purification ritual in which visitors pass through a giant ring woven from chigaya grass (roughly 3 metres in diameter)\, circling left\, right\, and left three times to cleanse body and spirit. Paper effigies (hitogata) are also set adrift on the Honkawa River\, carrying away sins and impurities in keeping with centuries-old tradition. \nLook out for special two-day-only goshuincho (festival stamp seals) and the shrine’s popular summer treat\, Hiyashi Ame — a refreshing chilled syrup drink sold as a “drinkable good-luck charm.” Donations to support the festival are welcome from ¥1\,000. \nTimetable\nFestival start 18:00\nFireworks start 20:00

SUMMARY:Mihara Daruma Festival (Shinmei-ichi)
DESCRIPTION:During the 3-day Mihara Daruma Festival the streets are taken over by stalls selling lucky daruma dolls and every kind of festival food you can imagine.  \n \nThe pride of Mihara is also on display\, the nation’s biggest daruma doll which weighs in at a couple of hundred kilograms. \n \nThings kick off on Friday with a cute parade of kids dressed up in daruma costumes\, but the big day is Sunday. It remains to be seen whether the general election falling on the same day will impact the crowds\, but it probably is still the day with most festive atmosphere. \nOne thing is for sure\, it’s going to be chilly. So wrap up warm! \nRead and see more photos from the Daruma Festival here. \n

SUMMARY:Onomichi Betcha Festival
DESCRIPTION:When\, in 1808\, plague was sweeping through the porttown of Onomichi\, the lord in control at the time ordered local shrines to perform purification rights in an attempt to ward of the disease. The rights were to be performed over 3 days and two nights and\, in addition\, an omokoshi portable shrine was carried through the streets with young men dressed a lion and three demons named beta\, shouki and soba at the head of the procession. \n  \nToday\, a festival based upon this unhappy event is held every year over 3 days\, culminating on November 3 which is always a National Holiday. Young men dressed as the lion and demons run through the city streets to the sound of drums and bells\, chasing children and hitting them on the head or body with bamboo whisks. \nThe children thus “beaten” are then said to be safe from illness or disaster for the coming year. The very young children subjected to this treatment by their well-meaning parents are in general quiteterrified and you’ll see plenty of screaming babies and toddlers. According to the Onomichi Tourism Office website\, those poked by sticks carried by beta and soba will be blessed with children and those that get the whisk treatment (from shouki) will become more intelligent. The betcha festival been designated an Intangible Folklore Cultural Property by Hiroshima prefecture. \nBetcha Matsuri video from Onomichi Tourism Association\n \nYou get a great idea of various aspects of the festival in this compilation of livestreams from 2022.

SUMMARY:Numata Hongo Fireworks Festival
DESCRIPTION:This now colorful summer festival has somewhat dark origins. It has grown out of an event to mourn the large numbers of people lost due to famine and disease during the great famines of the Tempo Era in the first half of the 19th century.  \nOver time the event turned into a chance for local farmers and farm workers to let off steam once the hard task of rice planting was complete.  \nToday\, the festival features a fireworks display of the same number of blasts as the year (Eg 2018 in 2018)\, the usual festival stalls and entertainment such as drumming\, and attracts around 25\,000 people. \nThe fireworks are between 20:35 and 21:00\, but the festival starts at 16:00. \nAccess: 5 minutes from Hongo JR Station on the Sanyo Line.
