Shimada Candy Festival

Once upon a time, a shrine priest fell ill after falling in love with a beautiful bride in a bun hairstyle called "Bunkin Takashimada." Concerned villagers made candy shaped like the hairstyle and offered it to Hachiman, resulting in the priest's recovery. This festival is based on that legend. In the shrine grounds, "Shimada candy," believed to bring good fortune in matchmaking, is sold, attracting many visitors from across the country.

Gold Snake Water Shrine Flower Festival

At an ancient shrine with over 1000 years of history, the deity enshrined is Mizuhayame no Mikoto, the goddess of water. It is said that the golden snake, forged by Sanjo Kaji Munekata in the Heian period, serves as the sacred body, and the deity is revered for its miraculous powers in business, wealth, and protection from misfortune. In early May, visitors can enjoy 1,300 peonies and azaleas in the adjacent peony garden, while wisteria flowers bloom within the shrine grounds. From mid-May, the peony garden will be in full bloom.
