The "kami" is frequently taken out in a procession in a portable shrine, or a mikoshi. It is believed that it's presence blesses the locations along it's route. The Festival which sometimes commemorate some local historical event, features floats that are beautifully decorated and shaped like shrines (mikoshi), boats and other decorations and are drawn by men or carried on the shoulders.
There are countless festivals here in Japan and most festivals are held almost every year and sometimes last for several days.
Another element of the festivals are street stalls featuring different kinds of foods, such as yaki-soba ,
Takoyaki and other kinds of Japanese delicacies. There are also toys and different games on the side of the roads.

This is a Splended festival at Yasaka shrine in Kyoto. The festival is said to have started more than 1,000 years ago to the stamp out an epidemic which was sweeping the city at the beginning
Othe Heian Period. The festival, which occurs on the month of July, features giant festival floats with decorative halbers, or weapons, which are famous for their splendor and magnificence.
The floats are usually built in two stories, on which the second floor consist of traditional music being played with some traditional instruments. There are many floats involved in this grand festival on which some weighs as much as 12 tons.
This festival is held in many regions every August is the Japanese Festival of the dead.
According to the Buddhist belief, the spirit of the dead or their ancestors return to earth. Obon Festival features Obon Dori folk dancing which is performed in a large circle and consist of east steps so that anyone may join in.

I would like to ask you a question, if I may? Do you hold to the beliefs of Shinto? For you seem to have a vast knowledge of it's philosophy. Hope you don't mind me asking?
God bless!
A bright day to you my friend.
Yes, of course. And that is a very good question.
Tradition, Culture, Religion or Beliefs... These 3 aspects are always be hand on hand. And most of the time can caused misunderstanding. In my case, I do respect the kind of Religious belief what the Japanese have. But my Faith is good only to one God that I believed. Perhaps we believed in the same God. The only difference is.... The manner of expressing that belief nor faith.
I am not much in Religion; the most important for me is FAITH!
But I do had respect for any kind of religion. " Many has been called, but very few was choosen"
If you still had a question Sir, please feel free to asked.
Yours,
Crystal
