Tengu mikoshi shrine in Beppu, Oita Prefecture, Japan. Photo taken by the uploader on 29 December 2006.

Translated, the plaque in front reads in part:

Yayoi Tengu: Tengu were often described as protectors of freedom and sovereignity in Japan. In 1688 there was a huge fire in Beppu, and this has led to the construction of many shrines to protect the villagers from further grief. The townsfolk got used to worshipping in those shrines constructed on the spot of the fire (in a part of town called Yayoi), and there were many festivals held there. In February of Showa 48 [1973], a tengu mikoshi was built. Since then, every April the tengu mikoshi is part of the town's festivities.
