A mikoshi is a divine palanquin (also translated as portable Shinto shrine). Shinto followers believe that it serves as the vehicle to transport a deity in Japan while moving between main shrine and temporary shrine during a festival or when moving to a new shrine.

Often, the mikoshi resembles a miniature building, with pillars, walls, a roof, a veranda and a railing.
