Coinciding with the annual Golden Week holidays, the Shinkawa Market Festival in the city of Ube, is a celebration of the traditions of the area.
The highlight of the festival is the fox’s wedding parade in which a traditionally dressed “bride and groom” with their faces painted as foxes, are wheeled on a rickshaw through the streets.
