Events that enjoy chrysanthemums are held in various places. When you go to a shrine or a temple at this time, you may be able to enjoy the chrysanthemum flowers.
We pray for longevity, decorating chrysanthemums and drink sake with a chrysanthemum petal on it. Since ancient times, the fragrance of chrysanthemum has been believed to have the power to purge evil spirits.
Have fun with "菊酒(Kikuka-shu)" too!
