The main event is a special nighttime illumination with the theme of "The Fox Wedding," creating a fantastical atmosphere from the shopping street in front of the temple to the temple grounds and Japanese garden.

Furthermore, inside the main hall, there is a projection mapping performance, which tells an original story of a fox wedding, in which the "Nogomi Dolls," a specialty of Kashima City, attend and celebrate the foxes' wedding.

Visitors wear fox masks and roam the area as guests of the wedding ceremony.
