A beautiful shrine located near the Matsumoto Museum of Art and the Performing Arts Centre. Fukashi Shrine is dedicated to two Shinto deities, Tenjin (a deity of scholarship) and Suwamyojin (also known as Takeminekata, a deity of wind, water, agriculture as well as hunting and warfare). In the summer, you can watch the lively Tenjin Festival in which the 18 traditional wooden floats (butai or mikoshi) from the surrounding neighborhoods gather at the shrine.
