About this event
Saitansai, celebrating the beginning of the New Year, will be held at Chikushi Shrine enshrined in Chikushino City, Fukuoka Prefecture. This festival is held over three days on January 1, 2, and 3, offering gratitude to the deities at the start of the new year and praying for household safety, sound health, and bountiful harvests. Chikushi Shrine is an ancient shrine listed in the Engishiki Jinmyocho and has an honorable history of enshrining the tutelary deity of Chikushi. Conducted within a solemn atmosphere amidst the crisp New Year air, Saitansai offers a precious opportunity to pray for happiness throughout the year. Worshippers can experience the traditional Japanese way of welcoming the new year through the recital of norito (prayers) by Shinto priests and sacred kagura dance.
