Event Overview

 

The enshrined deity at the Susa-jinja Shrine is Susanoo no Mikoto, who has long been revered as a god of maritime safety and fishing. It is believed that praying to this deity during times of poor fishing will lead to a bountiful catch. During the autumn festival held annually on October 14th, a fierce competition ensues as people scramble to grab the sea bream thrown from the festival floats. It is said that whoever catches a sea bream will enjoy a year of abundant fishing.
