日本平安时代，斋王带着随从自京都出发前往伊势，开启了从平安京前往斋宫的长途旅行，斋王旅行乘坐的是名为“腰轿”的轿撵。本次旅行是由多达数百名随从组成的大型团体旅行，称为斋王群行。“Aino土山斋王群行”活动，再现了本次旅行的场面。

In the Heian Period (794 – 1185), the Saio (Princess) travelled from Heian-kyo (modern Kyoto) to Ise in order to become a priestess at the shrine there.

A “Sentoe” lantern festival is held in order to pray for wishes to be fulfilled.

The Sotoen climbing kiln, making Shigaraki-yaki ceramics, is one of the largest in Japan, and continues to run at maximum output.
