At that time, the Oi River had a large amount of water and was a violent river that caused floods once it rained, but it was also a river of blessings that provided a rich water source and fertile land. In gratitude for the blessings and prayers for the protection of the Oigawa River and the development of the local area, Oi Shrine was built.
It is said that Oi Shrine was originally enshrined in the upper reaches of the Oi River, but it was washed away by a flood and came to be enshrined in the land of Shimada, where it flowed in 1276. After that, the site was changed due to frequent floods, and in 1689, with the expansion of the city, it was transferred to the current site.
Even today, it enshrines the three goddesses of Mitoha Nouri (god of water), Nabe Yasuhiuri (god of earth), and Emperor Amaterasu (god of the sun), and attracts the faith of many people.
Our festival, the Oi Shrine Grand Festival, commonly known as the "Obi Festival," is a festival in mid-October where the gods return to the old shrine site, and since the current form was established in the 8th year of Genroku (1695), it has been held for three days every three years for the tiger, snake, shin, and pig years old.
On the last day, the mikoshi and the brave and splendid daimyo procession, the dainu, the elegant Kashima Odori, the street food dances to the Nagauta and shamisen of first-class entertainers, etc. are lined up in one and proceed gorgeously through the town of Shimada. The obi festival, which has been preserved and handed down since the Edo period, is a gorgeous festival where beautiful traditional performing arts live on like Genroku picture scrolls.

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.

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.

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.
