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
Parking spaces are limited, so watch for traffic congestion in nearby roads during peak times. Benches and sheltered rest areas are available for your convenience.
Best time to visit
Approximately 40 minutes. Perfect for a shaded rest break during the strongest sun.
