Shizukuishi naked pilgrimage

Shizukuishi Town

Central Iwate

Last Saturday of February every year

    It began a long time ago when young people working at a sake store in Shizukuishi would slowly parade from Sanjaza Shrine to Eishoji Temple to pray for the success of new sake, prosperous business, and their own health. Wearing straw costumes and carrying banners with messages such as ``Development of Shizukuishi Town,'' ``Good Health,'' and ``Abundant Harvest,'' the prayers braved the cold to walk the approximately 1.2 km route from Sanjaza Shrine in Kamimachi to Eishoji Temple in Shitamachi. While walking around.
