A sacred ritual is performed at the site of the legendary Okoshiya (palanquin house) where Ebisu, the god of fortune, is said to have taken a nap. Kagura (sacred music and dance) is offered to the gods, followed by a mikoshi (portable shrine) procession from the main hall of Nishinomiya Shrine at 2 PM. Free loquat fruit and sweet sake are distributed to visitors on a first-come, first-served basis.
