Isuzu Shrine Festival in Kobuchihama, Ishinomaki

Isuzu Shrine Festival, planned and organized by local community, was held from July 15 to 17, 2011. The festival program usually includes a parade of mikoshi (for mikoshi, refer to its Wikipedia entry at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mikoshi) carried by children, but this year due to a shortage of participants the mikoshi and drums were instead loaded onto trucks, which then toured evacuation centers.
