Oi Shrine is the water god of the Oi River, and there is a kami pond with clear water in its precincts, and the pure water from an old well flows into the precincts. The water temperature is almost constant all year round, so it feels cold in summer and warm in winter. The first pond was built in the precincts of the shrine in 1915, about 100 years ago, to commemorate the 300th anniversary of the relocation of Oi Shrine to the land of Shimada, and was built around the current parking lot on the side of the shrine office by the services of the veterans at that time. The current pond was moved to the center of the precincts in 1985 during the commemoration of the 60th anniversary of Emperor Showa's accession to the throne, and it is more magnificent in size and scenery than the previous pond. Now it is indispensable in the precincts, and it is a beautiful water scenery of the water god.

Today, we held the Chongyang Festival, Healing of Sickness and Health Prayer Festival. Odd numbers are Yang numbers, and the Chongyang Festival, which means that the maximum value of 9 overlaps, is the last of the five verses and is considered a day to celebrate longevity. It is also known as "Chrysanthemum Festival", but since chrysanthemums are used as medicinal herbs and are said to be beneficial for health and longevity, there was a custom of decorating and celebrating chrysanthemum flowers during the festival of Chongyang. At this shrine every year, only on this day, the sacred treasure "Enku Buddha" is open to the public. It is a Buddha statue carved by a monk called Enku, and since the Enku Buddha of this shrine is a medicine master Buddha holding a medicine urn in his hand, it is now open to the public on the day of celebration of health and longevity. Since this year was the first year after the Coronavirus pandemic, many people attended and performed the ritual.

At the Sick Healing and Health Prayer Festival, you can see the Enku Buddha, a tangible cultural property designated by the province, up close. ◇Sick Healing and Health Prayer Festival◇ Saturday, September 9, 2023 12:00 ~ Saiko Initial fee 5,000 yen, 7,000 yen, 10,000 yen For reservations, ☎please call 0154-41-4485

Close-up of the shrine of the Asakusa Sansha Festival. Very delicate and gorgeous.

It is Itsukushima Shrine, the guardian deity of Kushiro located in Kushiro City, Hokkaido. The approach road leading from the first torii gate becomes a green tunnel in summer, and you can worship while feeling the sacred air with your whole body.

When visiting Tokyo, I happened to come across the Asakusa Sansha Festival. So leave this scene. Support for the gods, men, women and children, is very hard. It's really touching. I am honored to have the opportunity to come across such a festival.

It is a temple where the red spider liliies blooming around the stairs is too nice. It's my favorite place. Ogaki, Gifu 2022/10 Shot on iPHONE 11 PRO

Kagawa Prefecture Megijima "Sumiyoshi Shrine Grand Festival" festival dedicated to the god of the island – The shrine festival at Megijima island There is a surprisingly unknown island culture Kagawa Prefecture and in Takamatsu City Megijima and Ogijima take turns holding a summer festival every year, carrying a drum stand made of ropes handed down in Isshi Sōden and parading around the island. As the name suggests, the god of the island is a woman, and it has been handed down as a festival forbidden to women since ancient times so as not to be jealous. Drum stands are dropped and rolled wildly toward the gods, and at the end of the festival, the drum stands go into the sea. It seemed difficult to go through the small torii gate.

When I visited Megijima for the first time in a long time, a festival was being held on that day, so I took a picture.

It's a small festival, but I hope that traditional culture and festivals like this will be passed on to future generations so that they do not decline.

Aichi Prefecture's Taketoyo snake cart festival, "Snake Wheel fireworks," is a fireworks that is related to the tragic love legend between a dragon's daughter and a human, and the sight of a hand-held fireworks that resembles a dragon's mouth waving from the top of the festival float to the left and right is extremely spectacular.

The fryer holds the fireworks tube firmly with both hands next to his side, erupts a huge pillar of fire, and finally a flame called "Hane" erupts at his feet with a loud sound.
