Tour the castle town: Atago Shrine, which has a sumo ring on its grounds

The Yokosuka area of ​​Tokai City is where Tokugawa Mitsutomo, the second lord of the Owari Domain, built the Yokosuka Palace in 1666. There are still many historical buildings and storehouses when walking around the city. Atago Shrine is known as a place where floats gather for the annual festival of Atago Shrine, which started as an umbrella-poko festival in the old days and changed to floats at the end of the Edo period. I also learned that when the Nagoya Tournament begins, the sumo ring where sumo wrestlers practice is located in the precincts, so it is a shrine where many people gather. 📍Location: 23-1 Yonowari, Yokosuka-cho, Tokai City, Aichi Prefecture Access: 5 minutes walk from Owari Yokosuka Station on the Meitetsu Tokoname Line Parking: None #EnjoyJapan #GoldenWeek #Aichi #ExploringHistory #VisitingShrines andTemples
