The Oi River continues to flow cleanly since ancient times. The water god of the Oi River, which gives us a rich water source and many blessings necessary for life, is the god of Oi Shrine. In honor of the water god, we have also awarded an amulet that is as clear as water. Through the amulet that is as clear as the clear stream of the Oi River, please always receive the blessing of the water god.

10/1~10/31 only Oi Shrine is a monthly limited "obi shuin stamps". It is a gorgeous pattern related to our big festival "Obi Festival". Since it is transparent, you can also enjoy it through the scenery.

The Oi Shrine Grand Festival is also called the "Obi Festival" and is a festival in which the god of Oi Shrine returns to the old shrine site (inn) once every three years. Today, for three days including the second Sunday in October, a gorgeous festival is held in the town of Shimada where dainu, daimyo processions, Kashima odori, street stall dances from 1st Avenue to 5th Avenue, and ground dances are held. Especially on the last day, all of them form a large procession together with the mikoshi procession, and they slowly parade for a whole day for a round trip of about 4 km from Oi Shrine to the inn. Due to the appearance and swing of the dainu at this time, as well as the unique form of Kashima Odori, the obi festival has come to be counted as one of the three strange festival in Japan. In addition, since the Edo period, first-class entertainers from Edo have been invited to choreographed dances in each town, Nagauta, and shamisen, and Nagauta in particular is also called "Nagauta Festival" because the iemoto of each school competed for throat.

On both sides of the approach to the shrine with a view of the worship hall, there is a pair of stone top dogs, which always protect the gods. This powerful and dignified komainu was dedicated in 1938 by a then-famous Japanese confectionery shop called "Oki Kyodo" in Hondori 5-chome, Shimada, the year after the start of the Sino-Japanese War (China Incident), and was carved by Shimada stonemason Masuno-chohei. The right pedestal is carved with the words "Takeyu" and the left pedestal is carved with "Nagahisa", and it seems that it is a top dog dedicated to pray for Japan's victory and peace, and the safety of those who went to war.

We filmed the tea girl dance on the way at the Kanaya Festival. Due to the influence of Corona, this was the first time in four years that it was held. Shimada City has many other events, and I was able to create an image of a lively city. I would also like to participate in other events.

It is a collaboration between SL Sakura of Oigawa Railway and cherry blossoms in full bloom. It was a scene that I happened to encounter on a random car trip, but I was really lucky because the collaboration between the Oigawa Railway and the cherry blossoms was a subject I wanted to photograph someday!
