Until a festival starts, how to enjoy oneself

"Ryuo festival" is the grave event which colors summer in Kinugawa and Kawaji hot spring area. It's held on Friday, July 25 on Saturday on the 26th in 2025.
Shinto Ceremony is performed at the Goriyuu O shrine in Ryuo kyou from 11:00 on the 25th, and a main festival is performed from 18:00 to 22:00. Traditional performing art by a local preservation group is shown including going out of Man light Mikoshi Shrine (oh, oh, investigated portable shrine) and woman barrel Mikoshi Shrine (woman slack lower back) by a main festival.

The various Mikoshi Shrine powerful by Ryuo festival during a main festival, a town, I go out.
Man light Mikoshi Shrine a man carries (oh, oh, investigated portable shrine) and the showy woman barrel Mikoshi Shrine carried only by a lady (woman slack lower back) are the big feature of "Ryuo festival".
The request to which she says "She'd like to carry Mikoshi Shrine by all means." fits from the women who appeared on traditional performing art, and woman barrel Mikoshi Shrine has started, and the female of the ordinary year and the wide age participates as a stretcherbearer of barrel Mikoshi Shrine.
When seeing Mikoshi Shrine going out, "it's reeled, bridge" is an ideal point. Very beautifully, there is taste for the form that Mikoshi Shrine penetrates on the bridge.

The one to the tour of tourist attractions such as the linear descent and the Kinu Tateiwa big suspension bridge which are Kinugawa so and until then from a little past 18 o'clock when it's the evening that a main festival starts and a theme park of "Edo wonderland Nikko Edo village", "Nikko monkey troop" and "Tobu world square", etc., a rise is also right or wrong. I have time freely in hot spring, and tourist attraction is enjoyed, and if, various, they're Kinugawa and Kawaji hot spring that how to have time forms.
It's possible to enjoy itself by one-day visit, but Ryuo festival is an abundant hot spring village naturally, so spent one recommends while staying overnight.
