Yōgō Matsuri
Text
A rite held on July 8 at Mikami Shrine in Yasu Town, Yasu District, Shiga Prefecture. This rite commemorates the appearance of the deity to whom the shrine is dedicated (saijin), Amenomikage-no-mikoto, on the summit of Mt. Mikami, the mountain where the kami dwells (shintaizan). A "remote shrine festival" (okumiyamatsuri) is held on the summit and worshippers will also climb the mountain to present offerings at the remote shrine.
