Vue d'ensemble
Okunitama Shrine in Fuchu, Tokyo, is the Soja of Musashi Province — a centralized shrine that historically served as a single site where worshippers could pay respects to all the major shrines of the province. Enshrining Okunitama-no-Okami, it traces its origins to approximately 111 CE in traditional accounts, giving it a history of nearly 1,900 years. Its Kurayami Matsuri (Darkness Festival) in May — when mikoshi are paraded in complete darkness — is one of western Tokyo's most distinctive annual events.
