*The mikoshi will be paraded through the Shimagahara grounds one after another!
*Times may vary

The sight of a young man carrying a 560 kg mikoshi up the 125 stone steps while shouting chants is very brave. (It's a steep stone staircase)
The ``Lion Dance'' performed by four lions has been designated as an intangible folk cultural property of IgaCity. It seems that the lion dance was started during the Kyoho era under the influence of the lion dance of Aekuni-JinjaShrine. Lion dances include Daiko-mae, Godan Kagura, Ken-no-mai, Shishi-odori, Hanataka, and Aramai.
