Tokiwadai Tenso Shrine Festival
Tokiwadai Tenso Shrine Festival is held once a year in September.
... The shrine was founded in the Muromachi (1336-1578) period.
It also has the guardian dog that was damaged by air bombing in Showa period.
... There are many kinds of different mikoshi as each shrine and festival has a different god. People who live around the shrine carry it and go around the neighborhood bearing it on their shoulders. This is a very inspiring scene indeed! Not only men but also women and kids join this activity. The reason why people carry it is to spread the great power of the gods and protect people from evil spirits. ...
