I Carried a Shrine Thru Tokyo!! | My First Japanese Festival
Thanks to my coworkers I got to participate in a local festival in Tsukiji, where people carry mikoshi or portable shrines throughout the town. It was a really cool experience. And it was my first time participating in a Japanese festival, despite the fact that I've been living in Japan for 6 years now!
Mikoshi are used to transport the deity or god from one shrine to another during festivals or when relocating a shrine! Super cool, and I got to hangout with a bunch of super friendly Japanese people!
