The Autumn Festival at Hamanomiya Tenmangu Shrine in Himeji City, Hyogo , JAPAN

The Autumn Festival at Hamanomiya Tenmangu Shrine is a traditional autumn event held annually on October 8th (the eve of the festival) and October 9th (the main festival day) at Hamanomiya Tenmangu Shrine, located in the Shikama Ward of Himeji City, Hyogo Prefecture.
A key highlight of the festival is the "Daiba-zashi"—a feat designated as an Intangible Folk Cultural Property of Himeji City.

Daiba-zashi: This is a spectacular and daring feat—said to be the only one of its kind in Japan—in which a massive, heavy festival float (yatai) weighing approximately two tons is hoisted high above the heads of just 24 bearers and held aloft.
