Chaguchagu umako is one of the famous festival in Morioka
This festival started 200 years ago to pray for a rich harvest
Hundreds of dressed up horses walk from one shrine to the main shrine in Morioka
I went to the very beginning shrine which is 15 km away from the final shrine
We had a heavy rain in the middle
Following pictures were taken at the first shrine and last shrine
