May, June and July are the seasons for portable shrine festivals in Tokyo, along with autumn. Portable shrine festivals are held in various shrines every weekend.
The first one is the Kurayami Matsuri Festival in Fuchu.
It takes place from April 30th to May 6th. The festival reaches its climax with the portable shrine departure ceremony on May 5th, and is gaining momentum through May 3rd, 4th, and 5th during the consecutive holidays, leading up the climax.
Six drums, which lead the way during the portable shrine departure ceremony, are beaten together at the Drum Feast held in the evening on May 4th. The time when the sounds of the drums echo through the downtown is the charm of the Kurayami Festival that cannot be found in other festivals. After the Drum Feast, floats from 22 communities parade through the downtown, performing music and dance. That is enjoyable.
A sound environment of the festival is superb, so if you are in a listening environment where you don't have to worry about noise, I recommend listening at a loud volume.
