Suwa Shrine
The festival was first performed in 1820, and dedicated by the Yaoyamachi (八百屋町) locality to Nagasaki Kunchi, held at Suwa Shrine. Performances continued until a major fire destroyed much of Suwa Shrine in 1856. After a dedication ceremony on November 24, 1896, Takengei has been dedicated to Wakamiya-Inari-Jinja, and continues to be performed every year in October.
