Ichinomiya festivals in February
17 festivals and rituals this month, of which 2 are a shrine's principal annual festival.
Principal festivals on a fixed date this month: Hiraoka Jinja on the 1st and Yahiko Jinja on the 2nd. The busiest day is the 1st, with 3 events. By region, the fixed-date events fall in the Tōkaidō (6), the Tōsandō (2), the San'yōdō (2), the Kinai (1), the Hokurikudō (1) and the Saikaidō (1).
Principal festivals held on the same date every year can be added to your calendar (iCal).
Fixed dates (13)
Festival names are in Japanese — that is what you will see on the notice board. Dates are the shrine's own wording and can still shift; check before you travel.

Dates that move (4)
Set by a weekday, by the sexagenary cycle, or by a solar term — or stated only as a month, or known only from one year's notice (marked with that year), which may not repeat on the same day. The Japanese wording is given as it stands, because translating it into a day would be inventing a date.
