“Omatsuri” means a ritual for worshipping gods or Buddha, or an event held in gratitude towards nature. The word “Omatsuri” is used for festival held in a shrine. Festivals held in Buddhist temples are called “Ennichi”
There are up to 300,000 festivals throughout Japan. Summer and Fall season have a lot of Omatsuri.
At the Omatsuri, you can buy your favorite food from a food stall, then enjoy it while walking around. Apart from the food, you can enjoy other activities at Demise such as a shooting game, gold fish scooping game, or ring toss.
Gold fish scooping is the most popular game for children. You need to scoop from a basin with a scoop. The scoop is made from a thin sheet of Japanese paper, so it is easy to be ripped. If you catch gold fish, you can take them back home.
