Overview
Tado Taisha in Kuwana, Mie Prefecture, is known throughout Japan as the "Northern Ise" (Kita-Ise) — a revered complement to the Grand Shrines of Ise to the south. The shrine is dedicated to Tado Daimyojin (Amatsuhikone-no-Mikoto), a son of the sun goddess Amaterasu. Its distinctive annual festival, the Ueuma Shinji (horse-mounting ritual), dates from the Heian period and is designated an Important Intangible Folk Cultural Property. The lush precincts at the base of Mount Tado draw pilgrims from across the Chubu and Kinki regions.
