This shrine is located in the Kitano district of Takasu Town.
Every year on August 4, the "Kitano Shrine Festival" is held and a lion dance performance is held.
The lions have one head and five bodies, and one lion-tori, a lioness, confronts the lion with a naginata, a chain sickle, and a stick. The lion-tori (lion driver) is a single person, holding a naginata, sickle, and stick, and is surrounded by a drummer and several flute players, who play the music for each dance.
