Held annually on June 10th at Fushimi Inari Taisha, this traditional shrine festival celebrates the rice planting season and prays for a bountiful harvest. After the main ceremony at the shrine's inner sanctuary, young women dressed as early rice planters perform the elegant "Otamai" dance while priestesses in Heian-period court attire lead the ritual planting in the shrine's sacred rice field.
