Tips

荒天時は中止や延期の可能性があるため、当日の開催可否は主催者の公式発表で確認を。境内は混雑するため、小さなお子さん連れははぐれないよう手をつないで。終了直後は駅周辺が混雑するため、少し余韻を楽しんでから移動するのがおすすめです。

Tips

Within walking distance of JR Sanuki Hakutori Station. The shrine grounds become very crowded in the evening on the day of the Summer Festival, so it's recommended to visit and pay your respects during the day when it's quieter. You can walk to Hakutori Pine Grove next.
