Dazaifu Tenmangu – New Year’s Fire Festival

START: Jan 7, 2023 END: Jan 7, 2023

The Onisube Shinji festival takes place at the beginning of each year inside the grounds of Dazaifu Tenmangu. The event, recognized as one of Japan’s three main fire festivals, welcomes visitors looking to pray for good fortune and ward off harm for the year ahead. One of the festival’s most spectacular rituals involves a group of participants dressing up as ogres and hiding inside one of the shrine’s buildings. A battle then unfolds between the onikeigo, a group charged with protecting them, and the subete, looking to drive out the demons from the precinct with smoke!
