Awashima Shrine
"This is the head shrine of the more than 1000 Awashima shrines in Japan. Known for offerings of dolls, it is characterized by the many Japanese dolls that fill the shrine. As the birthplace of doll offerings and the birthplace of the Hinamatsuri Festival, over 300,000 dolls are offered every year. The god of medicine, Sukunahikona no Mikoto, is the shrine deity. In particular, women come for divine help with women's diseases, having children and marriage. ""Hari-Kuyo"" (a service for broken needles) is held on February 8th, ""Nagashi-bina"" (Floating Ceremony of Paper Hina Dolls) on March 3rd, and the ""Amazake Matsuri"" (Sweet Sake Festival) on October 3rd."
