What visitors say

The Suten Taisha Festival, held from May 3 to 5, is lively with food stalls and performances of music and theater on the 'Mikanmaru' boat stage floating in the moat. The shrine grounds have a calm and tranquil atmosphere, decorated with wind chimes in the summer. The shrine buildings are situated in a position that seems to watch over the river boats.
