Higashigai Shirota Shrine Higashi Tokida Jinja

There are many torii gates lined up along the approach that surrounds the main shrine. Various events are held throughout the year, such as the coming-of-age festival, summer festival, and regular festival.

●Enmusubi God
When the shrine was enshrined, the surrounding area was a mixed forest of pine and cypress, and was known as Kasino Matsubara, along the Wakayama Betsu Kaido (Kumano Kaido), and was a famous place for ``matchmaking pine'' since ancient times. As a result of this, the god of enmusubi is enshrined within the shrine grounds.

●Reitaisai Festival
At the regular festival held on December 10th, the founding of the shrine is celebrated and prayers are made for a rich harvest, prosperity and peace for the region, and blessings for the parishioners. Many worshipers visit, including children from nearby nursery schools.
