Overview

  • Visit Osaka Hokoku Shrine, which enshrines the three generations of the Toyotomi clan (Hideyoshi, Hidenaga, and Hideyori).

    (A commemorative goshuin (shrine stamp) will be given to all participants here!)

    This day is the most important grand festival at Hokoku Shrine, held on the anniversary of the death of Toyotomi Hideyoshi.

    It is a special day that attracts many worshippers every year.
    In the main hall, the chanting of prayers by Shinto priests resonates, and beautiful sacred dances are performed by shrine maidens,
    creating a special atmosphere that makes you feel as if you have travelled back in time to the Sengoku period.

    You will also go through a purification ritual by a Shinto priest to cleanse your mind and body before praying. You will also offer a Tamagushi, a sacred evergreen branch, to the gods. It allows for a deeper connection with the Shinto deities.

    After the festival, enjoy a wonderful gourmet buffet at a Hilton Osaka DT Hotel, with Osaka Castle as a backdrop!
