Your ship festival

Your ship festival

Event Overview

The origin of the Kifune Festival is old, and it is said to be the beginning of the "ship prayer", which had been held since the beginning of the founding of the shrine to pray for great fishing and safety of fishing boats and carriers. This is due to the fact that in the summer of the first year of Kanpei (889), the villagers greeted the shrine as it was called by Mifune to reach Kasashima, the edge of Cape Mansu. The form in which Shinkoshi travels over the sea from the shrine on the mountain and mingles around the town is a major feature of the Takafune Festival. * The 2024 Marine Watari will be held at a reduced scale (there is a ship). In case of severe weather, they may patrol by land.
