Tenjin Matsuri is the festival of the Tenmangu Shrine and honors its
principle deity Sugawara Michizane. The festival begins by
ceremonially inviting the deity out of the shrine and parading him
through the city, carrying out various exuberant festivities to
entertain him, before taking him back to the shrine. For the people,
the lively festivities manifest in a wonderful occasion to enjoy the
hot summer day, filled with traditional costumes, spectacular
processions and a celebratory atmosphere. There are two main parts to
the festival, one on land and the other on the water. The festival
closes with music, fireworks and an Osaka-style hand-clapping
performance that the crowd is encouraged to join. Come and you will
get a first-hand experience how Japanese celebrate their summer. The
people, the energy, the sound and the color from Tenjin festival are
indeed an amazing experience you wouldn't want to miss.
