祭概要

大小無数の提灯には高さ10mのものも！神輿渡御や稚児行列の華やかさに感嘆

「豊川稲荷」と称される妙嚴寺（みょうごんじ）の境内で、豊年を感謝し行われる秋季大祭。高さ約10ｍ、直径約5mの大提灯をはじめ、無数の提灯が境内を彩ることから「大提灯まつり」とも呼ばれます。日中は僧侶による祈祷会のほか「神輿渡御（みこしとぎょ）」を実施。白狐の面をかぶった御信者や着飾った稚児、雅楽、僧侶の行列、そして「豊年じゃ！ 300年の豊年じゃ！」の掛け声とともに現れる神輿でにぎわいます。夕方にはすべての提灯が点灯し、ほのかな灯りが醸し出す幻想的な光景に魅了されます。
本殿前の参道でひときわ輝く「花車」は300以上の提灯を円状に組み合わせ作られています。希望すれば提灯の火入れにも参加できます。


Some of the countless lanterns of all sizes are even 10 meters tall!

Be amazed at the brilliant sights, such as the carrying of portable shrines and the children’s parade."
A grand autumn festival offering thanks for a year of good harvest and held on the grounds of Myogon Temple, also known as “Toyokawa Inari”. The event is also called the “Grand Lantern Festival” because of the countless lanterns that light up the grounds, including some that are roughly 10 meters in height and 5 meters in diameter. During the day, there is a prayer meeting held by a Buddhist priest as well as the carrying of portable shrines. It is crowded with a procession of followers wearing white fox masks, children in costumes, court musicians, priests, and portable shrines that appear to the shouts of “Good harvests! May we have good harvests for 300 years!” All of the lanterns are lit in the evening to create a surreal sight of delicate lights that will captivate you.
The prominent “flowery wheel” at the approach in front of the main hall is made with over 300 lanterns. Those who want to take part in lighting the lanterns are free to participate.
