- Musashino Hachimangu - This shrine serves as the protective shrine of Kichijoji, believed to have been established in the 8th century. Following the Great Meireki Fire in the 17th century, displaced Edo residents were relocated to this area, forming a village. Since then, Musashino Hachimangu has been the town’s guardian shrine. Locals visit for various occasions such as New Year’s Day, festivals, family events, and New Year’s Eve.
On September 14, from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m., visitors can explore Musashino Hachimangu shrine to learn about its history and the festival. Enjoy a leisurely walk through the town, embracing the festival atmosphere, and witness a demonstration of all Mikoshi, the festival’s highlight.
