伏見稻荷大社"稻荷祭"

4/20就是昨天去了伏見稻荷大社的"稻荷祭",
不過因為去的比較晩所以只看到5架神轎出發(泣)

"稻荷祭"在毎年4/20前後的星期天舉辦,
像今年就是從4/20的"神幸祭"到5/3為止的"還幸祭",
這之間就是"稻荷祭"。

而"稻荷祭"是從平安時代開始流傳到現在,
也是稻荷大社最大的祭典,
且稻荷祭中使用的神轎在日本全國屬於華貴高雅的。

這幾天有在京都的大家,有機會可以看一下那5架神轎喔~

April 20 is a big day for Kyoto Fushimi Inari-taisha. It always starts on the Sunday near April 20, and lasts for two weeks to the 2nd Saturday, which is on May 3rd in this year. The two weeks ceremony is called "Inarimatsuri," the biggest fiesta in a year.
Inarimatsuri was firstly held in Heian period (794-1192), and was passed on till now as a on-going tradition. And also, the five holy palanquins used in the ceremony is so gorgeous and dainty that they can absolutely beat the others in Japan.
If you happen to be in Kyoto in this period, why don't you put Inari-taisha in your itinerary?
