Known for the heroic "Nitenbo mikoshi swinging"

#aprilblooms A venerable shrine founded in the 14th year of Enryaku (795) during the Heian period. It has the Ujiko area in the largest 61 towns in Arakawa Ward, and is still respected by the locals. The enshrined deities are "Susano Omikami", the brave god who exterminated Yamatano Orochi, and "Asuka Omikami", which is known as "Ebisu-sama" of commercial and industrial prosperity and prosperous business. The "Tenno Festival", which is usually held on June 3rd, is a festival to exorcise the epidemic that is spreading in the summer on the road where people and things come and go, and to pray for disaster relief and local prosperity. The characteristic of this mikoshi carrier is that with only two carrier sticks (two ten sticks), the phoenix on the roof falls left and right to the extent that it touches the ground and swings vigourously. The wild and heroic scene steals the eyes of the viewer. At the "Gojinko Festival (Honmatsuri)" held once every three years, three main shrine mikoshi, large, junior high, and small, will hand over the Ujiko area spanning 61 towns.
