The Asuke Spring Festival, otherwise known as the Annual Asuke Jinja Shrine Festival or Shigenori Festival is held by Asuke Jinja Shrine, located to the east of Asuke Hachimangu Shrine. The festival sings praise to Asuke Jiro Shigenori, a local hero who fought feircely for Emperor Godaigo of the Southern Court in 1331 at Kyoto's Mt. Kasagi. The festival was originally held on May 3 when Shigenori died in battle, but is currently held on the second Sunday of April and the preceding day when the area's cherry blossoms come into bloom.
