first ceremonial offering of rice by newly-enthroned Emperor （4.fifteen days）

Two large lions from Tokuwa Shrine and onidaiko (devil drum) from Suwa Shrine are paraded through the streets, with houses at their gates. Onidaiko is said to be a dance depicting gold diggers at the Aikawa Mine. Around noon, the large lion and onidaiko gather at Tokuwa Shrine for the "Neriage" (parade). The enthusiastic "Neriage" is well worth seeing as they slowly climb the stone steps while singing "Ise Ondo" and "Kiyari," a traditional Japanese folk song.
