About this event
Held from October 15 to 16, 2026, in Ise City, Mie Prefecture, 'Ise Hatsuhobiki' is a sacred event where freshly harvested grains are pulled and delivered to Ise Jingu. In this event, the newly harvested grains are transported around the Geku (Outer Shrine) and then around the Naiku (Inner Shrine) of Ise Jingu. Hatsuhobiki is a traditional festival to express gratitude for the year's harvest and dedicate it to the deities, serving as one of the most important annual events for the local community. While event details can be confirmed on the official website, visitors can typically experience a uniquely local atmosphere alongside the sacred ceremonies. Through this event, you will be able to connect with traditional Japanese culture and a sense of gratitude for agriculture.
