On the 4th of January, there is a festival at Sumiyoshitaisha called "Toukashinnji", to pray for a bountiful harvest. A lot of Mochi (Japanese rice-cake) is thrown to the audience by the shrine's priests. These red and white mochi are believed to bring good luck. The competition is very hard so it is almost impossible.
About 3 minutes walk from Nakai rail way "Sumisyoshitaisha" station.
