Tietoa
Nopeat faktat: The shrine hosts the grand Hachiman Festival every year on October 9th and 10th, where elaborately decorated floats parade through town. Over 300 years ago, local craftsmen started donating these ornate floats as an offering to ensure a good harvest and protection.
Kohokohdat: During the festival, visitors can see 11 massive wooden floats adorned with hand-painted carvings and the sound of traditional flutes and drums fills the air. The festival's lively atmosphere is heightened by the shrine's peaceful surroundings, offering a rare blend of energy and tranquility.
