Tonight, I visited Kitano Tenmangu Shrine for the Mitarashi Festival and Mantokai. 🏮✨
The “Ash*tsuke Tomyo Shinto Ritual” involves walking through the Mitarashi River to cleanse the body and spirit with its clear water, then lighting five-colored candles and making a wish. 🕯️
With the lanterns glowing around the shrine, the atmosphere was peaceful and special.
