Yu Festival at Hine Shrine

The Yu Festival at Hine Shrine is a traditional summer event dedicated to the safety of Kashii River’s water source and protection from seasonal misfortunes. The word “Yu” refers to irrigation water, symbolizing gratitude for the life-giving blessings of water in the region.

The festival features rituals using sacred water from the shrine’s stream, and the “Gosha Ondo” performance—a lively traditional dance and song that incorporates local place names, reflecting the deep history and culture of the region.

Experience the timeless charm of this historic festival and immerse yourself in the traditions of Hine Shrine.
