The 66th Shinoyama Castle Ruins Cricket Festival

A very romantic festival that has been combining the full moon, castle ruins, and crickets for about 60 years. The venue is adorned with bamboo lanterns creating a mystical atmosphere. Under the soft light of the bonsai, the sounds of crickets are offered to the gods. How about spending a rich moment reflecting on the summer and feeling the arrival of autumn? *Participation in the bonsai parade is fee-based. (Reservation tickets available at the Shinoyama Shrine office starting August 10)
