Utsunomiya Miyamatsuri 宇都宮の宮まつり

">
The Miyamatsuri is held on the first weekend of August. The streets are loaded with about eighty 'mikoshi', over two days. It is really something to see. It is a major Shinto holiday and a huge street festival, and as usual my photography doesn't do the size and intensity justice. By far one of the most festive weekends in Utsunomiya.
