Onikoshi Sozen Shrine

Onikoshi Sozen Shrine

In 1597, a horse in Sawauchi village became unruly while playing in the field, ran all the way to Takizawa, and died. The villagers buried him with care and built a shrine. This is said to be the beginning of Sozen Shrine, and since then, people have taken time off from work to decorate their horses and worship at this shrine on May 5th, Boy's Festival. This is the birthplace of Chagu Chagu Umako, which has been held on June 15 of the new calendar since 1968, and on the second Saturday of June since 2001.

Goryu no Fuji

Wisteria in the precincts of Kakukake Shrine. It is rare in the prefecture to have five large trees that are approximately 200 to 300 years old growing in their natural state. Its appearance is reminiscent of five dragons soaring into the sky, hence the name Five Dragon Fuji.
