<\/p>\nOharae, or purification ceremonies, are traditional Shinto rituals conducted in June and December. The ceremony held in June is specifically known as \u201cNagoshi-no-harae\u201d or \u201csummer passing purification ceremony\u201d. At Hakozaki Shrine, this ritual takes place on June 30, followed by the Nagoshi festival, held on the last Saturday and Sunday of July (which corresponds to the end of June in the traditional calendar).<\/p>\n
Visitors are invited to walk through a \u201cthatch ring\u201d made of grass, which is set up in the shrine for the purpose of cleansing themselves of sins and impurities accumulated over the previous six months. Along the path leading to the shrine, a festival named \u201cIt\u2019s summer, it\u2019s a matsuri! It\u2019s a festival!\u201d will be staged, featuring about 50 stalls. Among the offerings, you\u2019ll find yakimochi (grilled rice cakes), a specialty of Hakozaki Shrine, and other items for sale.<\/p>\n
