Fixed dates (37)
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.

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.
