Ninth day - Okunchi
There is a custom in various regions of holding an autumn festival on the day of the Double Ninth of September, called "Okunchi" or "Oku-nichi," but in the Kyushu region, it is also used simply to mean the festival. In some places, it refers to the 19th or 29th. The Okunchi festivals at Suwa Shrine in Nagasaki (October 7-9) and Karatsu Shrine in Karatsu (November 2-4 since 1968) are famous.

9月9日の重陽(ちょうよう)の日を〈お九日(おくにち)/(おくんち)〉と呼んで秋祭をする風習は各地にあるが,九州地方では単に祭の意味にも使う。19日,29日をいうところもある。長崎市諏訪神社(10月7〜9日),唐津市唐津神社(1968年以後11月2〜4日)のおくんちが名高い。
