The summer festival held annually on July 30th around Nishoyamada Shrine. As a festival of Sugawara Shrine within Nishoyamada Shrine, it has been treasured and passed down locally. During the Tenjin Festival's procession, the naked men of Ajiro, the Grand and Junior Priests, and others parade through the night streets. Lanterns made from Yamashiro washi paper line the approach to Nishiyamada Shrine, creating a nostalgic scene. Various diverse food stalls also line the streets, allowing visitors to fully enjoy this community-wide festival.
