箱崎白浜にある白濱神社が400年の節目を迎えました。
今年は初の雨の中での開催、そして初めて神輿を担いで海に入るなど、勇壮な姿に多くの人が魅了されました。
Shirahama Shrine, located in Hakosaki Shirahama, has reached a remarkable milestone—its 400th anniversary.
This year’s celebration was held for the first time in the rain, and for the first time the portable shrine was carried into the sea. The powerful and dynamic scene captivated everyone who came to watch.
白濱神社
かつて山から流れ着いた棟札を祀ったことが始まりとされる歴史と伝統がある神社。
400年を迎える今年は白濱虎舞、田郷の獅子踊り、七福神が街を練り歩き、地域一体となって華やかにお祝いしました。雨にも負けず、参加者全員の想いが詰まった、特別で心に残るお祭りになりました。
The shrine has a long history, said to have begun when a wooden plaque from the mountains drifted down and was enshrined here.
To commemorate the 400th year, the Shirahama Tiger Dance, Tagō Lion Dance, and the Seven Lucky Gods paraded through the town, filling the streets with vibrant energy and celebration.
Despite the rain, the festival became a truly special event—one filled with the heartfelt spirit of all participants.
