Tado Taisha Ageumashinjji
In this annual Shinto ritual at Tado Taisha shrine, six young men are selected by the gods from local deity-worshipping residents. The festival features the ancient ritual called ageumashinji, in which the young men in samurai outfits ride on horseback in an attempt to jump to the top of a three-meter cliff.
