Highlights
About Harada Jinja Shishi Shinji Festival
- Admire Historic Architecture: The Honden (main sanctuary), rebuilt in 1652, is a rare architectural style and a significant cultural property. Enjoy the beauty of early Edo-period design alongside the festival energy.
- Experience the Nighttime Atmosphere: The massive torches during the Yoimiya Festival create a completely different atmosphere than daytime. As this is an outdoor night event, please prepare accordingly.
- Easy Access from the Station: Since it is only a 2-minute walk from Okamachi Station, traveling by train is very convenient. We recommend exploring the charming historical streets in the surrounding area before or after the festival.
