The address is 5-4 Koshikiiwacho, Nishinomiya, Hyogo.
What is Natsumode at Koshikiiwa Shrine?
“Free prayer tanzaku strips” Tanabata bamboo decorations will be set up in front of the worship hall until July 7.
Together with the refreshing breeze blowing through the lush shrine grounds and the sound of the wind chimes, prayers will be offered so that everyone’s wishes may reach the deity.
〈Period〉June 15 to July 16 (they will be hung as offerings until August 31)
*The wind chimes have been blessed, so you may either hang them in the shrine grounds with your wish or take them home.
〈Hatsuhoryo offering fee〉2,000 yen
You can take part in the “Chinowa-kuguri” ritual from June 30 to July 10.
Finally
Half a year after the New Year’s “Hatsumode” shrine visit, “Natsumode” is a time to pray for peace and well-being for the remaining half of the year. I visited last year, and it was a lot of fun. This year, there will apparently be a “Summer Festival and Yudate Kagura Ritual” on July 16, so I’d love to go😍
