Fuchu Danjiri Festival

Festival highlights

Highlights include the danjiri procession through town by the five neighborhoods and the yarimawashi, a maneuver for which Senshu’s danjiri festivals are known.

Fuchu Town has narrow streets, and relatively small to medium-sized danjiri were used there during the Showa period.

Some of the current danjiri are newly commissioned, and the danjiri from Ichibe-cho is described as extra-large.

At night, some neighborhoods pull their danjiri at a walking pace, among other differences worth noting.

What to expect

At the festival, danjiri from the five neighborhoods of Tosenji, Koyashiki-cho, Minami-no-cho, Ichinobe-cho, and Babanomachi are brought out and pulled through Fuchu.

Danjiri from Wake-cho and Oda-cho also make a shrine visit to Izumi Inoue Jinja, the local ujigami shrine, in addition to those from the five Fuchu neighborhoods.

The pace of the nighttime procession varies by neighborhood. The three neighborhoods other than Tosenji and Babanomachi are said to pull their danjiri at a slow, walking pace.

How to take part

Visitors can watch the danjiri procession from along the route.

As the procession passes through town, do not get too close to the moving danjiri; follow instructions from staff and people nearby, and watch from a safe place.

Origins and History of Fuchu Danjiri Festival

Regarding the origins of the Fuchu Danjiri Festival, records are cited stating that up to 1585, six mikoshi and six danjiri were lined up.
