Kibata Jinja Shrine’s “honden” main shrine and “romon” 2 story gate are both designated as National Important Cultural Assets. Large numbers of spectators flock to the shrine for the “Dondo Yaki” warding off evil festival in January and the “Kibata Jinja Hyaku Mono Soroe” where in fall a procession of over 100 warriors passes through the shrine.
