In the Medieval Period of Japan, it was a local god that played the role in bonding people's spirits, and it was a Shinto shrine where the local god was enshrined. This holy space of Shinto shrine was an important place where the wills of the community were confirmed, and various rules of the regional society were decided. The annual events were held in each season, especially those large-scale ones became an important festivals for people in the region. It can be said that such a relation forms the bases of modern festivals and the connection of regional society. Moreover, we can find out a lot of cases that the Shinto shrine festivity and water are closely related. It is thought that the occupation such as farming or fishery exists in the background of such cases. This is the most important part to think about the existence of Shinto shrine. The very close relationship with people’s life gave birth to the rites, such as Shinto shrine and various festivities. Though absorbing various cultures of East Asia, it is given its own identity, which formed the soil of Japanese culture. The aim of this report is to discuss the relationship between Shinto shrine and people. Especially, I want to clarify the roles and meanings of water in the festivities of the Shinto shrine, and how it is related to people's occupations.
