Atago Shrine Fire Festival

START: Dec 5, 2015 END: Dec 5, 2015

This annual festival invites visitors to purify their bodies and ward off misfortune by completing a special ritual: write your wish on a piece of paper, throw it onto the bonfire, and then walk barefoot across burning coals. This festival marks the start of the shrine’s New Year celebrations.

Check out the report from when a Fukuoka Now reporter faced the flames!
