Kankochi Suwa!!!　 Introducing the Takashima Castle Festival! May 26, 2024 the fourth Sunday in May every year. The 55th Takashima Castle Festival was held in. This year, 19 groups presented on stage. Hip-hop dances, Japan dances, Drum, singer singing, Restrooms available and the Matsumoto Castle Gun Corps arquebus were Restrooms available.　 　The Gun Squad made a strong impression on me. Restrooms available even in Japan.　The arquebus is about 430 years old Restrooms available and I think that there are few people who have traditionally preserved the ones that can be used today Squid　The people who protect the arquebus and carry on the tradition are the people of the Matsumoto Castle Gun Corps.　That's why arquebuses can be seen at events such as Matsumoto Castle.　The gunners brought several types of arquebuses.　To the untrained eye, I saw two types of arquebuses.　The first is the bantsu infantry gun, and the next is the medium tube medium gun.　They fired blanks in several different formations.　It was a great impact sound!　Finally, a batter from Suwa shot the middle tube. It was a huge sound that seemed to cut through the space we were in.　It was really amazing, and I felt wonderful! Drum performances, children's Hip-Hop dances, and families came to watch.　In this festival, you can buy specialties from Stalls, sister cities, and friendship cities, and you can also do tree climbing!!　 We were blessed with good weather and many citizens came to the event. If you have the opportunity to come to the Takashima Castle Festival, please come and enjoy it!

◆ Myojin Stone ◆ Myojin Stone is an oval-spherical boulder with a major axis of about 2.5 meters, a minor axis of about 1.8 meters, and a height of about 1.2 meters yen. I don't know how long it has been in this area, but it is thought that it was brought from the Ina Mountains by the flooding of the Mibuzawa River in ancient times. This rock has been revered by people since ancient times as a mysterious rock that is not frightened by large floods, even though it can be easily moved by the power of a child. Also, I don't know when it started, but it was surrounded by a Jade fence and was considered a sacred place of worship for Suwa Grand Shrine. The origin of the name is unknown, but it is said that when the Suwa Grand Shrine solicited the Suwa Daimyojin to this area, a shintai was enshrinement on this rock and a festival was held until the shrine Mibuzawa Suwa Shrine was completed. Since then, it has been customary to use this rock as a temporary enshrinement for the Shintai during the expansion and renovation of the shrine. ● Details of Myojin Stone ・ Request to customers who Use 　The people of the district take good care of this stone. 　When you go inside and push the stones, be careful not to break the Sacred straw ropes or sakaki decorations. ・Facilities 　Restrooms available with handrails ・Toilet 　without ・Parking lot 　None Use the parking lot in front of the nearby Mibusawa Suwa Shrine ・Inquiries 　Toyooka Travel Time 0265-49-3395
