Jul. Aug. Sep.
Inokami Shrine festival. Jul.
At the pool of the river, a rampaging mikoshi (portable shrine) will be carried around, stalls set up by local young people, and throw mochi (rice cakes).
The enshrined deity of Inokami Shrine is Minakatame no Mikoto, the god of water. The date of establishment is unknown, but there is a billboard from the second year of Kanpo (1742). Shrine parishioners used to pray for rain when there was a water shortage. Every year, on the first Sunday of July, a mikoshi (portable shrine) is carried around, in the river's pool for the annual festival. Until this was built, women were prohibited. After the portable shrine, there is a mochi (rice-cake) throwing ceremony, and local people open stalls.
