Major Annual Festival

Kasama Inari's major annual festival is held on April 9, the shrine's legendary founding day. On that day, ritual offerings of incense ceremony and tea ceremony are made at the Hall of Worship, together with offerings of famous rice wines (sake) from more than seventy breweries located in Ibaraki Prefecture. Within the shrine precincts, exhibitions of flower arranging (ikebana) are presented by various Ohararyu, while outdoor tea ceremonies are performed by members of the Edo Senke, Omote Senke and Ura Senke schools of tea.
