Kamo Taisai Festival<\/h1>\n
<\/div>\n
\n

Kamo Taisai Festival has a tradition of 950 years, and is an extremely rare style of festival called yosemiya-sai<\/span> (Yosemiya Festival). Eight mikoshi<\/span> (portable shrines) including the Kamo Shrine, Kegi Shrine, Matsuo Shrine, Hiyoshi Shrine, Susanoh Shrine, Hachimangu Shrine, Amahakari Shrine, and the Sansho Shrine proceed in order from their chinzachi<\/span>, (place of enshrinement) to the Sojagu Shrine. Then the Main Festival with nine shrines including the mikoshi of Sojagu Shrine is held. The festival lasts an entire day from 6:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. yearly on the third Sunday in October. A cheerful yet sacred ambient atmosphere pervades the entire town and this festival has been designated a Significant Intangible Folk Cultural Asset by Okayama Prefecture.<\/p>\n
