Historic shrine known for Hachinohe Enburi performances, connected to the festival
About this spot
A historic shrine situated on a small hill, known for receiving performances of Hachinohe's local folk art "Enburi." The Sansha Grand Festival is a joint celebration of three shrines collectively called the "Three Shrines," and this shrine plays an important role. The quiet grounds at the top of the long stone steps offer a peaceful atmosphere perfect for before the summer festival begins.
Season & hours
Name: 八戸三社大祭
Date & time: 7/31 (Fri)–8/4 (Tue) Time TBA
Venue: 八戸市中心街
2026年は7月31日から8月4日まで開催される、国の重要無形民俗文化財にも指定された東北屈指の夏祭りです。おがみ神社をはじめとする三つの神社の神輿渡御に合わせて、氏子各町内が趣向を凝らした豪華な山車を繰り出し、からくり仕掛けで動く人形や迫力ある造形が観客を沸かせます。笛・太鼓・手振り鉦によるお囃子に乗って山車が練り歩く様子は、街全体が一体となって作り上げる夏の一大絵巻です。
Tips
中心街は開始前から大勢の見物客で賑わうため、良い場所で見たいなら16時台から沿道に着いておくと安心です。周辺道路は通行規制がかかるので、公共交通機関の利用がおすすめです。ベビーカーの場合は後方や広い交差点付近が見やすいです。

About 10 minutes by car from Hachinohe's central street. There are stone steps, so wear comfortable walking shoes. The grounds have plenty of shade, making it cool even in summer.
Best time to visit
About 40 minutes. Early afternoon is quiet with fewer visitors.
