Ako Hachimangu Autumn Festival
Shishimai, Daikokumai
The festival features a couple of wild lion dancers, a male and a female. They wake up with the sound produced by Taiko, Japanese drum. Then they proceed performing dances of exorcism and purification, and move to the shrine lead by a long-nosed goblin.
