Hiraizumi Water Throwing Portable Shrine

Bravely and splendidly carrying the portable shrine between the ruins of Kanjizaiō-in and the Golden Hall while being showered by 'purification water' from the roadside. The main event of the 'Revive the Gold - Hiraizumi Festival', which was held in Heisei 7, inviting the water throwing portable shrine from Tomioka Hachiman Shrine in Fukagawa, Tokyo, led to the creation of the 'Hiraizumi Water Throwing Portable Shrine' as a festival involving local citizens. In Heisei 8, a group of young people from the town formed the carrying organization 'Hiraizumi Portable Shrine Association'.
