Many of them are affected by the customs of the folk beliefs, Buddhism and Taoism.

The festival at the shrine has "Mikoshi(神輿)", a special carriage for the gods, in general.
Also, there is a spectacle to the festival each.
There are many festivals in Japan, but the three major ones are Gion(Kyoto), Tenjin(Osaka) and Kanda(Tokyo), these are called as Japanese three major festivals.
This is the photo of Kanda festival.In the climax at this,100 Mikoshi fill the town.
It is interesting to see Mikoshi move in urban modern.
Finally,let's have a look on the video!
