nago Whale Boat Event Nagono Whale Bunegyoji
Date: Saturday, October 12th to Sunday, October 13th, 2024 (the second Saturday and Sunday of October every year)
The Whale Boat Event is a festival where various prayers are made to the gods, imitating the ancient whale fishing method of harpooning whales that had wandered into Ise Bay.
Tennomaru, a float shaped like a whaling boat, is pulled around to the tune of whaling songs and drums, and at the climax of the song, young dancers (dancers) kill the papier-mâché whale at the end of the shaft.
It is held every year on the second Saturday and Sunday of October as part of the autumn festival at Iino Shrine in nago.
The whale boat is made of wooden stucco and measures 5.8 m in length, 2.4 m in height, and 1.5 m in width, and is decorated with gold leaf painting and dragon carvings.
The origin of this festival, in which harpoons are shot at a paper mache whale, is unknown, but it is said to have been held at the Tenno Festival on August 1st in the early Meiji period. It was last held in 1966 and then revived in October 1991 after a 25-year hiatus, and was designated an intangible folk cultural asset of SuzukaCity in March 1992. This will be the 33rd time the festival has been held.
This whaling event is one of the representative festivals of the Northerners, and is currently held at six locations in Mie Prefecture, including Suzuka and Yokkaichi.
In 2024, departure is at 8:00 AM on the 12th and arrival is at 6:30 PM on the 13th.
