About this spot

This is the annual summer festival held at Tsuno Shrine (都農神社), an Ichinomiya (first-ranked shrine) of Hyuga Province that has drawn devotion since ancient times. In 2026, it takes place over two days, August 1 and 2, with numerous food stalls lining the shrine grounds and approach. Visitors can enjoy both the solemn atmosphere unique to this venerable shrine and the lively bustle of a festival at the same time. Long cherished by the local community, the grounds bustle with families and local children. The sight of lanterns glowing against the historic shrine buildings is a quintessential summer scene of this region.
