Futamiokitama ShrineSummer Solstice Festival When The People From All Over Japan Try To Purify All Together

At Futamiokitama Shrine famous for the couple rock, Geshi Festival is took place on the day of summer solstice. After the warm-up with singing and motion like rowing boats, they purify in front of the couple rock. In fact, it's said that old people purify here before visiting Ise Jingu Shrine.◎Futamiokitama Shrine has a parking area for cars, and for the public transport, it's possible to walk from JR Futamiura Station. But the trains don't run in the early morning, you'll better to stay around here if you don't have cars. Summer solstice of course, it's during the rainy season in Japan, you need to prepare the rain. If it's sunny, you can see the sun rising from between the couple rock as a buck ground of Mt. Fuji.
