Shrine Festivals - 05-21-2009, 09:22 AM

Hey Guys

The following is my rough whereabouts during my honeymoon:

Oct 24 - Kyushu
Oct 25 - Hiroshim
Oct 26 - Himeji
Oct 27-28 - Osaka
Oct 29-31 - Kyoto
Nov 1 - Yokohama
Nov 2-3 - Yumoto Hakone
Nov 3-13 - Tokyo area

My wife really wants to visit a matsuri, the only thing I see possible is the Haoke Daimyo on Nov 3rd. Does anyone else know whether there is anything that we can visit (preferrably some sort of Shrine Matsuri where there are activities we can do outside of just watching) and is inline with our travel plan? The above plan is not set in stone yet, so I can make adjustment to it if i like

We arrive in Narita on the 23rd, late night, and will travel to Hakata early morning on the 24th, will probably arrive at around 1ish 2. Her main interest is Canal City and the Yatai. Knowing that the Yatai doesn't open till late, we have a good 5-6 hours top cover this Autumn Festival and Canal city. Do you think thats enough? Or do you think that The festival will be closed by the time we arrive?

Tori no ichi is going to be on November 12? And from what i can tell on that page, it will start 12:00AM that morning?

This truly is important information for me! Thanks a million
