At the senso-ji temple, we had the event called Kinryu-no-mai.
Big long golden dragon were dancing very vividly.

The official temple name for Sensoji Temple is Kinryuzan (Mountain of Golden Dragon)
and this name comes from a tale about a golden dragon.
According to the legend, 1000 pine trees suddenly appeared overnight
near the temple on the 18th day.
Three days later, a golden dragon measuring 100 shaku (approx. 30 m)
descended into the pine trees from the heavens and was never seen again.
The Golden Dragon Dance is based on this episode.
