On Tuesday, July 14, 2026, the Rikutogyo (land procession) of the Namba Yasaka Shrine summer festival marched through the Sennichimae Doguyasuji Shopping Street.
When the parade of portable shrines and lion dances arrived in the shopping district to the sound of taiko drums, many people gathered to watch, taking photos and sending applause.
It was a moment filled with a festive, vibrant atmosphere, allowing us to feel the summer of Minami.
Thank you to everyone who participated in the procession in the heat, everyone involved with Namba Yasaka Shrine, and everyone in the local community.
