Celebration

This traditional event has been held since the Edo period. During the "Tengu Fire Walk" ceremony, a tengu (a mythical creature) and a portable shrine walk through raging flames, creating a spectacular sight. In summer, the town of Shakutan holds its annual Hikuni Shrine Festival, praying for abundant harvests and fish. The festival usually begins on the eve of July 4th, with the main ceremony on the 5th and post-festival activities on the 6th. The most captivating part is the "Tengu Fire Walk" ceremony held on the nights of July 5th and 6th. Piles of firewood crackle and sing, sparks flying into the night sky. Amidst the intense flames, a tengu wearing a Sarutahiko mask and single-toothed wooden clogs bravely walks through the fire. Following closely behind is a group of young men carrying a shrine, shouting and running through the flames. During the day, a "sea parade" adorned with giant fishing flags paints the sea in vibrant colors, while joyous festival music echoes throughout the town as floats slowly pass by. For three days, this port town, imbued with the spirit of the sea, is completely immersed in the festive atmosphere. The scene of a tengu (a mythical creature) clearing the way and a shrine passing through flames to purify itself is filled with a solemn and sacred aura, deeply touching the hearts of every witness. This is Hokkaido's most representative and magnificent Shinto ceremony, where you can personally experience the flames, the heat, the weight of tradition, and the courage displayed by those who bravely participate.
