In fact it is of my opinion that the really interesting festivals start in September. For instance the Furusato Hyappei Festival (<strong>\u3075\u308b\u3055\u3068<\/strong><strong>\u767e\u9905\u796d\u308a<\/strong>) is a festival that occurs in the city of Iwamizawa (<strong>\u5ca9\u898b\u6ca2\u5e02<\/strong>) in Hokkaid\u014d (<strong>\u5317\u6d77\u9053<\/strong>). The highlight of this festival features a large wooden pestle that is hoisted in the air and dropped in 60kg of glutinous rice to make rice cakes.<\/p>\n<p>http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=LDQZca-3z14&#038;feature=related<\/p>\n<p>Karasuzumo (<strong>\u70cf\u76f8\u64b2<\/strong>) is a festival that takes place at Kamigamo Jinja (<strong>\u4e0a\u8cc0\u8302\u795e\u793e<\/strong>) or Kamigamo Shrine. The Karasuzumo is a very eccentric festival where the shrine priests caw like crows. Normally these men are reserved, but when the priests caw it\u2019s like seeing another side of the priesthood! It\u2019s especially hard to stifle a giggle when the priests starts hopping around like birds! Afterwards there is a amateur sumo competition, but the priest ritual is so more entertaining.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"\u4e0a\u8cc0\u8302\u795e\u793e\u30fb\u70cf\u76f8\u64b2\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/vk11SxuBfRM?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>The Okuma Kabuto Festival (<strong>\u304a\u718a\u7532\u796d<\/strong>) will take place in the town of Nakajima (<strong>\u4e2d\u5cf6\u753a<\/strong>) in Ishikawa Prefecture (<strong>\u77f3\u5ddd\u770c<\/strong>). The Okuma Kabuto Festival is a boisterous festival with day long parades of shrine carriers, flag bearers, musicians singing and playing instruments and men pushing large floats. One of the interesting rituals of this Festival is when a man dressed in a goblin outfit and mask dances in the streets.
