Hi Everyone!

The Mugiwara-Taimatsu Torch, a traditional summer festival in Kayano 
area where the JET House is located, will be held this coming Sunday, 
July 14.

The "Mugiwara-Taimatsu" festival was brought to Minoh from Atago Shrine 
in Arashiyama, Kyoto via the Saigoku-kaido Road, and has a long history 
spanning some 300 years.
Atago Shrine is known as the god of fire, and in the Kayano area, people 
have long enshrined a card from Atago Shrine on top of the mountain as a 
god of fire prevention.

Why don't you join the torche making event and bring the festival more 
exciting!?

This year, there is also local Jizo-bon festival planned in August.

Please look forward to the "Mandoro Fire Festival," a larger version of 
the Mugiwara-Taimatsu event, scheduled in August at the Q's Mall.
