This is the weekend of Kichijoji Aki Matsuri (Autumn Festival). I understand that this is the 37th annual of it. I don't know what they did before that.
Nine Mikoshi in total that are carried by some 2,000 volunteer "katsugite" - or carrying-hands move around the town of Kichijoji.
Below photo is actually that of a poster of the same Mikoshi last year. You can tell the enthusiasm of the katsugite.
Many little booths with food and games are lined up at the local Hachiman Shrine.

It is festive and nice, but because of the Mikoshi, the traffic around the town/train station becomes a mess! As it can be seen from the photo below, buses were not leaving on schedule!
