Each year on October 10th from 21:00 a Shinto ritual of transferring a shintai in a portable shrine is carried out. People with Keriya decorations and plumage on their heads march along with splendid historical procession and portable mikoshi shrine. A procession of Heyan Era with about 500 people including 1 sacred horse, Kannushi priests, shrine maidens, dancers, court musicians, peasants, village headmen and another participants unrolls there. From main shrine to a place where the sacred palanquin is lodged during a festival there are about 785 stone steps that mikoshi will go down and worshipers will whirl into excitement.
