Hinode Sai is the annual spring festival at Musashi-Mitake-jinja Shrine. It takes place on April 29 and is the most prestigious festival held at the shrine.
The evening before the festival, a Shinto procession takes place at twilight, faintly illuminated by lanterns and accompanied by traditional Japanese court music. The procession winds its way to the location of the sacred palanquin.
On April 29, a procession of priests, men dressed in white, armored warriors, and children follow the palanquin, or mikoshi, from the plaza in front of the cable car station. The parade passes through the streets of Mitake and up 300 stone steps to the main shrine at the summit of Mt. Mitake.
The night view of Tokyo from the peak, which has an elevation of 929 m, is particularly magnificent. You can enjoy this rarely seen nighttime scenery if you attend the evening before the festival.
