[Sakai City Designated Intangible Folk Cultural Property] The Purification Ritual at Sumiyoshi Taisha Shukuin Tongu ✨
🗓️ Date and time: Friday, August 1, 6:30 PM–7:30 PM
📍 Location: Sumiyoshi Taisha Shukuin Tongu (Shukuincho Higashi 2-1-6, Sakai Ward)
The Purification Ritual at Sumiyoshi Taisha Shukuin Tongu, known as the Aranigo Great Purification Ritual (aranigo no ooharae shinji), was once held on the last day of the sixth month of the old lunar calendar and is now observed on August 1. On that day the mikoshi (portable shrine) of Sumiyoshi Taisha is welcomed to Sakai and the ritual is performed at Igai-bori in the Shukuin Tongu.
This ceremony oversees the act of purification, the very essence of the Sumiyoshi Festival and the mikoshi procession. It forms a vital foundation of faith and everyday culture for the people of Sakai, making it an extremely valuable rite.
Don’t miss this rare, once-a-year opportunity! 🙏

Sakai Tourism Concierge recommendation ✨
“📍A special moment to soak in history and beauty at Sakai’s tea room Shin-an 🍵”
I’m Azusa Nakase from the Sakai Tourism Concierge.
I visited Shin-an, Sakai City’s tea room, to experience a Japanese space that stands quietly in stillness 😆
Built by Kodō Ōgi, renowned as a master of sukiya-style construction, the tea room presents a beautiful blend of modernity and tradition.
The moment I stepped inside, I felt time slow down 😌✨
You can also join a tea-serving experience 🍵 and taste matcha with seasonal sweets while touching the culture of chanoyu ☺️
One bowl of tea can enrich the heart so much…🍃
Please stop by during your Sakai sightseeing 🙌🏻
