Tide Festival

Shiokake Festival 2023: 800 years of history

After the ritual to pray for safety at sea and a big catch, the ``Shiokake Festival'' is held, which is known as a strange festival where boats and people splash seawater on each other.
Mikoshi shrines, drums, night stalls, and music stages are held from the morning, creating a festive atmosphere (previously).
This year's Shiokake Festival will be held on July 7th and boasts a history of 18 years.
This festival celebrates the annual return of Ichikishima Hime, the goddess who protects the safety of the sea, from Yakumo Shrine in Wagu to the shrine on Oshima, about 2,5 km off the coast of Wagu. It's a festival. A boat carrying the sacred object (mando boat) and a local fishing boat accompany the fishermen as they travel to Oshima.(I.e.At the shrine, fishermen and divers offer locally caught seafood to the shrine, and a ritual is held to pray for safety at sea and a bountiful catch. Afterwards, when all the boats return to Wagu fishing port, the tide begins to flow from the boats toward each other's boats, and the festival reaches its climax. The tide sometimes hits visitors on land, but there is a legend that if you bathe in the tide, you won't catch a cold. At night, there will be stage events, night stalls, and a grand fireworks display at the end.
