O-Mikoshi Parade

This past October, on Sunday the 20th, Yokosuka City held its 43rd Annual Portable Shrine ( お神輿 "O-Mikoshi" ) parade

Dozens of shrines & neighborhood associations from around the Yokosuka and Miura Peninsula areas participate .... and the O-Mikoshi's are carried down the main street and then into the U.S. Navy and JMSDF base

And, I believe this is the only place in Japan where one of the portable shrines is exclusively carried by Americans -- mainly sailors and civilians from Yokosuka Navy Base
