The festival began with a lively parade through the port town, setting an energetic tone for the day’s events. Participants then moved into the sea, where they offered prayers for a bountiful catch and safe voyages, honoring the traditions of their community.

Following the prayers, the mikoshi—a sacred portable shrine—was carefully placed onto a boat. Young men took on the responsibility of rowing the mikoshi back to the shrine, demonstrating strength and unity.

At the port, another small boat crewed by young men awaited the arrival of the mikoshi. The celebration reached its climax as the mikoshi arrived at the pier and was plunged into the sea. This dramatic splash elicited loud cheers from spectators, marking a memorable and spirited conclusion to the festival.
