Name: 千栗八幡宮名越祭
Date & time: 8/1 (Sat) 7:00–(茅の輪くぐり神事・時間終日)
Venue: 三養基郡みやき町・千栗八幡宮
筑後平野を見渡す高台に鎮座する千栗八幡宮で、毎年8月1日に行われる伝統行事です。境内に設けられた茅で作った大きな輪をくぐることで、半年間に知らず知らず身についた罪や穢れを祓い、残り半年の無病息災を祈願します。2026年は8月1日(土)の朝7時から神事が始まり、終日お参りすることができます。長い歴史を持つ神社で、地域に根づいた夏越の伝統にふれる貴重な機会です。
Tips
高台にあるため境内までは階段や坂道があります。歩きやすい靴で訪れましょう。夏場の日中は日差しが強いため、参拝の際は水分補給を忘れずに。
Tips
The facility has ample parking for convenient car access. The contents of special exhibitions vary by season, so it's reassuring to check in advance.
Best time to visit
Approximately 1 hour. Early morning, right after opening, is relatively quiet for viewing.
