Ohara Hadaka Festival - September 23rd & 24th, 2024
Main ‘Shiofumi’ Event: September 23, 2:30 PM at Ohara Beach 

The Ohara Hadaka Festival is one of the most anticipated events of the year here in Chiba, best known for a practice called ‘shiofumi’ where participants rush into the ocean carrying ‘mikoshi’ portable shrines. Traditionally, the shiofumi was meant as a way to pay respects to the sea, and to pray for bountiful crops and fish harvests. This heritage lives on today as a beloved celebration of the local coastal culture.

The shiofumi is scheduled to take place around 2:30 PM on September 23. Then the festivities continue for the remainder of the two-day festival, with crowds parading around the city, still transporting the “kami” gods in their portable shrines. If you’re looking for an only-in-Japan experience, come on down to Chiba’s Pacific coast to see this stunning spectacle in person!

Location: Isumi City, Chiba
The shiofumi takes place at Ohara Beach, Google Maps Plus Code:
