DSC_0503RS'G.jpg The Tsukiji Lion Festival, a summer festival of Namishi Inari Shrine, which began on June 9th.

For the first time in five years, the large lions (the large lion of the evil ceiling and the Benzaiten tooth black lion) are all available at the imperial procession Festival on June 11th.

Usually, once every three years, the main festival involves two lions, either the Sennukimiya portable shrine or the male or female, and at the Yin Festival, one of the shrines Sennukimiya portable shrine, the male lion, and the female lion.

Since the male and female lions were revived, the same steps have been taken so far in 2002, when the female lion was completed, 350 years after the shrine was built, and in 2009, when the head of the dragon tiger was revived as the end of the large lion revival work. This is the fourth time in 2012.

The large lion's palace is 11:00, and Miyairi is 15:30.

The tooth black lion is carried only by women only in the shrine and entering the shrine, and the rest is placed on a trolley and joined the row of ceiling large lions.

In addition, from the first day of the festival, there is a large summer exorcism Chinowa on the grounds, and you can tour the Chinowa until the great exorcism ceremony of NatsukoshiShinto ritual on June 30.
