Cultural notes
As a kami enshrined at this shrine is not specified in my data I will remove that field. The shrine may have festivals like, Tanabata and New Year's (Oshogatsu) celebrations but those are only found with further research. Traditional dances performed here include the 'Sakata Odori' and other regional dances.
