Carrying a portable shrine
When carrying a portable shrine, you wear a HANTEN.
There are many festivals where the rules are strict.
You can not even get close to a portable shrine if you don't wear a determined HANTEN or festival costume.
Watching a portable shrine
Tourists can not feel free to carry the portable shrine, but of course they are free to enjoy watching a portable shrine and the festival.
When you enjoy the festival, if you wear at least one item suitable for the festival, you will definitely feel better!
Why not try wearing a KOIKUCHI-shirt or put on a HANTEN and go out for festival sights?
