Danjiri crossing the Kamo River

Isono Shrine (伊曽乃神社) is a Shinto shrine located in Saijō, Shikoku, Ehime Prefecture, Japan. It is a Beppyo shrine. It is notable for two different festivals: Saijo Matsuri,[1][2][3] and Isono Jinja Sairei.[4][5]

Festivals

The Saijo Matsuri is held between October 15 and 16.[1][2][3] Forty Matsuri floats are carried across the Kamo river.[6] The festival has existed since the Edo period[7][8] and is used to promote disaster awareness.[8]

Isono Jinja Sairei is a festival between July 27 and 28 in Saijō. The main attraction is the danjiri. Danjiri are big carts. They are decorated with lanterns.[4][5] The carts are 4.9 m (16 ft) tall. Many mikoshi, or portable shrines, join them. The festival has eighty items in total. It also includes groups of supporters.[5]
