Tado Taisha sits at the foot of Mt. Tado in the north of Mie, and the tradition here is that a white horse has lived on the mountain for around fifteen hundred years, carrying the deity and acting as messenger between god and people. A white horse is still kept in a stable in the precinct and visitors feed it carrots.

The shrine's festival on 4 and 5 May is the Ageuma Shinji, in which young riders gallop up a steep earth bank and attempt to clear a two-metre wall at the top; the number of successful jumps is read as a forecast for the harvest. It is a prefectural intangible folk cultural property dating to the Nanbokucho period. The grounds are open at all hours and the shrine-side car park is free.

インサイダーガイド

**Feed the white horse.** A white horse is kept in the precinct in continuation of a tradition about fifteen hundred years old, and carrots are sold at the shrine. **4 and 5 May for the Ageuma.** Riders charging a steep earth bank at a two-metre wall, with the number of clears read as a harvest forecast. It is a prefectural folk cultural property and it is crowded. **Weekday parking is free.** The lower car park charges at weekends; the smaller shrine-side one is free. **Grounds open at all hours.** Prayers and amulets have set times but the precinct itself does not close. **Twenty minutes on foot from Tado Station.** On the Yoro Railway, which is a pleasant slow line in its own right.
