Senba Sengen Shrine Special Shrine Hall Opening

About this event

This is a special event at Senba Sengen Shrine in Kawagoe City, Saitama Prefecture, opening the interior of the shrine hall, which is normally closed to the public. On this occasion, visitors can view up close the ceiling paintings created by the Edo-period painter Baisetsu Eno inside the shrine hall. The ceiling paintings are said to depict the Ogura Hyakunin Isshu (One Hundred Poets, One Poem Each), offering a precious opportunity to experience the shrine's history and culture. In addition, special goshuin (red ink stamps) for the "National O-Sengen-san Pilgrimage" will be distributed at the shrine hall. Visitors may need to wait for admission during crowded times, following instructions from staff members. This special public opening is scheduled multiple times, so those who miss this session can visit on subsequent occasions.
