Wakamiya Hachimansha in Nagoya's Sakae district is one of the city's three great shrines (Nagoya Sanshu), enshrining Emperor Nintoku and Emperor Ojin. Founded by tradition in the early 8th century, the shrine was relocated to its current site in 1610 when Tokugawa Ieyasu built Nagoya Castle, subsequently becoming the central shrine of the Owari Tokugawa domain. It hosts the Wakamiya Festival each May — one of Nagoya's three great festivals — famous for its Edo-period Fukurokuju float with karakuri (mechanical puppet) automata.
