The Waka Festival has been beloved as the Kishu National Festival, the Tenka Festival, and the Gongen Festival. The mikoshi (portable shrine) boldly descends the 108 stone steps of Kishu Toshogu Shrine, and then a procession with taiko drums, Saiga dancing, naginata (halberd) wielding, and other performances departs from Kishu Toshogu Shrine and parades around the Waka-ura area.
