Yoyogi Hachi-man Matsuri

The mikoshi for most of the other chomes are adult sized and much heavier so it takes lots of people and teamwork to carry them around. So its a good boinding experience for the neighbours.

In the afternoon we went down to watch about 5 miokoshi converge at Yoyogi Hachiman shopping street, and then went up to the shrine.
