It's fun! May 5 Goromaru Tomb Festival
On Thursday, May 5, the Gosho Goromaru Tomb Festival was held.
Last Updated May 17, 2023
Gosho Goromaru was the night when Yoritomo Minamoto hunted Fuji in May 1193, when the Soga brothers beat Kudo, the enemy of his father, Yusuke Kudo, and passed down the Soga brothers to Yukei's House and passed down to Yukei's mansion, and then passed down to the samurai's younger brother.
On the day of the grave festival, the weather was blessed, and many people including children participated, and mikoshi ( and float appeared.
I think that the reason why the Tomb Festival can be held safely every year is that the people of the Goshoyama Town Association keep their historic graves on a daily basis, such as cleaning graves and surrounding areas. I would like to thank you again.
We will also value the tradition and history of Nishi Ward and pass it on to the next generation.
