Sengu

Sengū (遷宮) is the Japanese term for the transfer of a shintai to a Shintō shrine. When the honden, the main hall of a Shintō shrine, is repaired or rebuilt, the shintai must be moved. Ceremonies to mark this occasion are also called Sengū. During sengū, the shrine's main buildings and sacred items are rebuilt and renewed. The main sanctuary and other structures are constructed anew. All sacred garments and treasures are also replaced.
