Description:
42 Miya Two gangs of men and horse dragging a festival car (not shown) past the entrance to Miya Temple on a fete day. The name Miya literally means "shrine", and is a shortened word denoting the Atsuta Shrine. It is one of the most important shrines in the country because it holds one of the three divine symbols of the Japanese imperial throne. Now Nagoya City has grown around the shrine to become the third largest metropolis in Japan.
