Shirakami-san is a historic shrine in downtown Hiroshima, located right on Peace Boulevard. During its autumn festival, held on October 28 & 29 every year, the decorated shrine is buzzing, food and game stalls line the street, and you can enjoy this region's brand of colorful and rhythmic kagura dance.
