The origin of Torikoe shrine dates back to 1350 years ago. The shrine is located on Kuramaebashi Street. The annual festival attracts many tourists who wish to see the grandeur of the "mikoshi" (miniature portable shrine) parade. The Torikoe shrine's mikoshi is known as the heaviest one in Tokyo, thus named "Senkan-mikoshi", which means it weighs 4 tons.
