In this topic, we will introduce in detail the location and access to the "Fox's Wedding Ceremony" that will be held on Saturday, February 3rd.
What is the “Fox’s Wedding Ceremony” at Kaisando Shrine?
The shrine grounds are crowded with many worshipers who come to see the adorable fox couple getting married and throwing lucky beans.
Some gift bags thrown by the bride and groom's foxes contain sakaki leaves branded with the word ``Manryo.'' If you carry this sakaki leaf as a talisman, ``you will receive money.'' It seems that there is a legend.
