▼Yobara-jinja Shrine and Oasa Shrine Midwinter Undersea Ablution Festival
The “Midwinter Underwater Ablution Festival”, a traditional event held around the 15th of the New Year at Obama Beach in Ushibuseyama Park, which is also the “100 Treasures” of Numazu, is a Shinto ritual in which portable shrines that have been transferred from the shrine descend from the beach, and a heroic event in which new adults and adult shrine parishioners who ward off evil carry the portable shrines and perform a ritual in the sea is on display.
There is also a shagiri performance by local groups, and visitors can also participate in mizukake and mochimaki. The sweet sake is also delicious. The mikoshi that goes out to the sea in the middle of winter is the highlight!
