October in the Himeji and Harima areas is full of autumn festivals.
As festivals are inherently something that has been carefully protected and passed down by the local people, strangers are usually not welcomed at local festivals.
However, recently, due to the aging of the population and the declining birth rate, more and more places are welcoming strangers with open minds. Today, I’d like to introduce you some autumn festivals that are relatively comfortable to visit, even for tourists.
