Sakata Shinmeigu Shrine, near JR Sakata Station on the Hokuriku Line. The site of the annual Yakko-buri Procession held on April 29. I saw it in 2010.

Offerings
|
|
During the ceremony, they passed on the offerings to be placed in the shrine's main hall.
|
|
|
The offerings included fish, vegetables, fruits, etc.
|
|
|
Shrine maidens also danced.
|
|
|
Then they removed the offerings and put them back.

The procession started at around 2 pm with the children's mikoshi (portable shrine).

The yakko-buri men do their thing.

Reenacts the daimyo procession of Lord Ii Naonobu from Hikone when he came to worship at Sakata Shinmeigu Shrine in 1733 in Maibara.
|
|
The men walk with a stylized, kicking action while singing.
|
|
|
|
|
I assume this is Lord Ii Naonobu. (But he should be in a palanquin or on a horse.)

They proceeded along a route within the shrine's neighborhood and Sakata Station. There are 16 of them.
