Event Overview

A celebration of the Gisa Shrine, which prays for good fishing and safety. In 2024, it will be the evening festival on October 19 (Sat) and the main festival on the 20th (Sun). On the morning of the main festival, eight drums, including young men and boys, ring in unison at the shrine precinct. In particular, the large drum of a young man is a large one, 240cm in diameter, a large bee about the size of a bat, and is thrashed vigorously.
