Thank you, Armando, Olivier and Frank!
I changed the title from "Local" to "Regional" because it is more appropriate.
The regional festivals are fairly common among many communities throughout Japan, are based on the Shintoism and are held mostly between May and September. The people carries a sacred palanquin which is owned by each regional community, which can be seen at virtually all festivals held by the communities in Japan.
The numen or divinity who lives in the region usually rests in the temple, but at one time in the festival, the numen moves into the sacred palanquin to parade through the region or the community.
Tsukiji in Tokyo is famous for the fish market, and the numen there is for the safety of fishing. Its Temple is called "Namiyoke Jinja". "Namiyoke" means to protect the fishers from the (big) wave, and "Jinja", temple.
I was just a passer-by, and thus didn't participate in the festival. Fortunately I had a Samyang 7.5mm fisheye on Panasonic GF5, a small and fun combo.
