Dekimachi Tenno Festival
(Dekimachi Tenno-sai/出来町天王祭)

1st Saturday and Sunday of June



Dekimachi Tenno Festival said to have originated in an attempt
to secure protection from a plague by holding festival for Gozu Tenno, a god of plague,
the protective deity of Gionshoja (Jetavana Grove).
The festival had been held in early summer, the season that
plagues become prevalent or crops get damage by insects or bad weather.
