Shinoshima daimyō procession

Shinoshima daimyō procession

Event Overview

A procession that protects the path of the sacred object returning to Hachioji Shrine. The sight of naked men struggling desperately on the cold coast is magnificent. At the festival site, a man designated as the "Yaku Otoko" begins a fierce struggle to touch the sacred tree known as "Otanagisama." It is said that bringing the sacred tree out to sea will result in a bountiful catch, so they desperately try to take it out to the ocean.
