Evening Festival Bringing 46,000 Days of Blessings
About this spot
The 'Shiman-Roku Senichi Festival' held every summer at Fukuishi Kannon Seigankiji in Sasebo. In 2026, running from August 8th (Saturday) through August 10th (Monday), this festival tradition holds that visiting brings blessings equivalent to 46,000 days of merit—long cherished by locals. This course spotlights August 8th evening. After daytime prayers at Kameyama Hachiman Shrine, spend the evening browsing night stalls with family amid the traditional summer festival atmosphere. The mingling scents of incense and night stall aromas within the grounds exemplify Sasebo's summer.
