Events

Miyajidake Shrine is known as a place to pray for good fortune and business success, and for the famous “Path of Light,” a straight line of sunlight that aligns with the stone steps and ocean beyond. Around 3,000 cherry trees grow on the grounds, with some varieties blooming as early as late January, offering an early sign of spring.
During Setsubun, about one ton of roasted soybeans are prepared for the annual bean-throwing ceremonies held from Jan 31 to Feb 3. On Feb 1, the Oku-no-miya Inari Shrine hosts the Hatsuumataisai, a festival held on the first Day of the Horse in the lunar calendar. Rice dumplings offered during the ritual are shared with visitors after the ceremony as a gesture of gratitude for working animals.
