We are planning to go to Hie Jinja(Shinto Shrine)in Tsuchiura to see the Yabusame (Horseback archery)Festival .
The horseback archery festival is deemed a prefectural intangible cultural property, and is one of the three big yabusame of the Sanno school in Japan. The festival is intended to rid the area of monkeys and to bring a good harvest and peace. While riding on horseback, a rider in armor shoots an arrow at a target which represents a monkey. Many people come to see this martial event every year.
The event will be held even if it rains lightly. In case of storms or heavy rain on the event day, we will change to another activity. If you are busy, you can be late or you can only stay there as your schedule allows. If you don't have your own car, we will pick you up. Please tell us if you need a ride.
We have 2 LINE groups,a LINE BAND and a FB chat group. A LINE group "TICE Announcements" is only for important announcements for upcoming events. More one of group "TICE Update/Chat “is use for members communication and to keep in touch in real-time by your cell-phone on the event day.
