5. Special festival every other year



Every other year there is special Mikoshi and all the people from different town get together for carrying this one mikoshi. Special mikoshi is bigger than normal mikoshi that we carry it every year and it is also heavier. In the rule of Yotsuya Katsugi we are not supposed to shake mikoshi, but for special Mikoshi shaking it is probably impossible.6. Yotsuya have a very big street, so we usually carry Mikoshi on roadway with police man. We only carry it around in Yotsuya for normal mikoshi, but if it is for special mikoshi we carry it to next city Shinjyuku. We have rotation to carry it, because that is so long way to carry it.
