Mashiko Gion Matsuri festival is performed as a festival to Yasaka-jinja Shrine every year for three days of 25th from July 23.
Have you ever heard the Gion festival?
If you say Yes. It is the most faimous Gion festival that takes place annually in Kyoto.
But Mashiko Gion festival is famous as a one of strange festival in Kanto region.
Five districts in the town block perform this festival by turns every year.
They hold a ceremony changing the turn of the festival.
The ceremony called OMIKI CHYODAI SHIKI.
They must drink up a large quantity of liquor at the time.
The quantity 3jyo6gou5shaku (6.5 liter). It means 365 days for one year.
I recommend that you'll check the strange ceremony with your eyes.
