A summer tradition praying for protection from misfortune✨
This is Taisai Shrine in Miyoshi-machi, Miyoshi City.
It is a seven-minute walk from the Miyoshi Mononoke Museum.

The shrine grounds, where the solemn main hall and centuries-old trees harmonize, cleanse the heart.

Known as the setting for the manga Asagiri no Miko, which features a miko as the protagonist, the shrine is beloved by many fans.

At the roughly 400-year-old Ring Passing Festival, worshippers pass through a large straw ring to pray for good health and freedom from illness, a traditional ritual still carefully preserved today.
It takes place exactly halfway through the year, every June 30th.

Also known as the Yukata Opening, people in yukata gather to decorate early summer memories.

Wrapped in a cool breeze, why not spend a time at Taisai Shrine feeling nature and tradition✨

/The 400-year-old traditional Ring Passing Festival is held/
The festival will take place at Taisai Shrine from the evening of Monday, June 30th.
