The Sanno Festival is Hie Shrine's festival and ritual rich in traditional and history. Hie Shrine is located in Nagatacho, Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo, and the guardian deity of EDO, the old name for Tokyo, has been worshipped there from the time of Shogun Tokugawa in the EDO Period. During the Tokugawa era, the Sanno Festival was celebrated on a large scale as "Tenka Matsuri," or supreme festival meaning a festival at which successive Shoguns after the third Shogun Iemitsu Tokugawa watched and worshipped the sacred portable shrine being carried into the grounds of Edo Castle together with the procession. This festival is famous as the top of the three largest Edo festivals, and at the same time as one of the three major festivals of Japan together with the Gion Festival in Kyoto and the Tenjin Festival in Osaka. (Excerpt from the website of Chiyoda City Tourism Association.) In the neighboring grounds of Nihonbashi-Kabutocho district in Chuo City, where both HEIWA REAL ESTATE REIT, Inc. (hereinafter, "HEIWA REIT") and the Asset Management Company are located, Nihonbashi Hie Jinja shrine, an auxiliary shrine of Hie Jinja shrine, stands as a popular shrine called Sanno Deity enshrined in Nihonbashi-Kayabacho, and has been designated as "Otabisho" since the Kan-ei era of the early Edo period which means a place where a sacred portable shrine carrying an object for worship is lodged for a rest and a Shinto ritual is conducted during the procession of the Sanno Festival. In the precinct of Nihonbashi Hie Jinja shrine, one sacred portable shrine and two Emperor's vehicles with a phoenix statue on the top of the house, called Horen are placed in line, creating a solemn atmosphere. In cooperation and coordination with the local neighborhood association, our sponsor company, Heiwa Real Estate Co., Ltd., and other companies located in the neighboring area, the executives and employees of the Asset Management Company endeavor to contribute to, and revitalize the local community by participating in the parade of sacred portable shrines in the Sanno Festival.

As a member of the local community, the executives and employees of the Asset Management Company engage in cleaning activities in the Nihonbashi-Kabutocho district, home to our sponsor company, Heiwa Real Estate Co., Ltd and where the Tokyo Stock Exchange is also located. We will cooperate with the local neighborhood association and other companies in the area to contribute to the local community.
