Wafu Kari Shrine
A ritual that prays for a good fishing of wakame. Several local youth members in nude roles jump into the sea in red underbelts and swim in the cold from the island to the harbor. A festival where the Shinto priest of the Hippo Shrine travels from the port of Uryū to Goninoshima by fishing boat with a large fishing flag and offers Wakame to the youngest shrine of the Hippo Shrine, Kumano Shrine, to pray for the good harvest of Wakame and the great fishing of fish.
