6. Matsuo Taisha Shrine is worshipped by sake brewers all over Japan [Matsuo Taisha Shrine] / Matsuo Taisha Shrine and its surroundings

It was founded in 701 by Hata-no-Imikitori at the order of Emperor Monmu. Since the Hata clan had many skilled sake brewers, the shrine came to be worshipped as "the first sake brewing god in Japan" around the end of the Muromachi period (1336-1573). There is a "Sake Museum" in the precincts of the shrine, where visitors can learn about the relationship with sake, its history and culture, and the sake brewing process in an easy-to-understand manner.

Sake barrels dedicated by sake brewing companies from all over the country line the Mikoshitori. Finding your favorite brand is one of the pleasures of the festival.
