Earthquake god with cute catfish lined up on the railing

Omura Shrine, an ancient shrine mentioned in the Engishiki, has a lot to offer. There is a ``Keystone'' that is said to protect against earthquakes, a ``Mushikui Bell'', one of Japan's three strange bells, and a gorgeous Momoyama-style building with a gabled structure and cypress bark roof, and a ``Hoden'' designated as a nationally designated important cultural property. "etc.
Omura Shrine is visited by many worshipers from all over the country as it is believed to be a guardian deity against earthquakes.
It is said that the catfish lined up on the railing are the lucky charms that have been dedicated to make wishes come true.
In spring, the cherry blossoms at Sakurayama Park next to the parking lot are beautiful, and you can see the entire ao townscape from here.
The autumn festival is held on November 2nd and 3rd every year, and on the 2nd night, Shishi Kagura from three regions gather and perform dances. It's lively until late at night. At the annual festival on the 3rd, catfish flower carts and lion kagura are paraded through the town.
