About the festival
This river festival of Tsushima Shrine is said to have a history of nearly 600 years. At the eve festival, five makiwara boats decorated with lanterns arranged in a semicircle cross the Tenno River. At the next morning's festival, danjiri boats with changed decorations set out, and young men jump from the Ichie boat into the river and head for the otabisho (temporary shrine).
