On August 15th, during Obon, vines are collected from the mountains to create a thick, long rope. In front of Dainyu Hakusan Shrine, the local guardian deity, a tug-of-war is held between two teams: the young men&#8217;s group and the combined group of middle-aged men and children. After three rounds, the rope is cut in two, and from the winning team&#8217;s (the &#8220;Hotoke&#8221; team) rope, a ring is made for a children&#8217;s sumo tournament.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/fn_tag-of-war-with-dainyu-kazura_2024_cl-002.jpeg?resize=1212%2C1200&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Dainyu Tug-of-War, \u5927\u5165\u304b\u305a\u3089\u306e\u7db1\u5f15\u304d\" width=\"1212\" height=\"1200\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-164798\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/fn_tag-of-war-with-dainyu-kazura_2024_cl-002.jpeg?w=1212&amp;ssl=1 1212w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/fn_tag-of-war-with-dainyu-kazura_2024_cl-002.jpeg?resize=300%2C297&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/fn_tag-of-war-with-dainyu-kazura_2024_cl-002.jpeg?resize=1024%2C1014&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/fn_tag-of-war-with-dainyu-kazura_2024_cl-002.jpeg?resize=150%2C150&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/fn_tag-of-war-with-dainyu-kazura_2024_cl-002.jpeg?resize=768%2C760&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/>\uff08\u4e00\u793e\uff09\u7cf8\u5cf6\u5e02\u89b3\u5149\u5354\u4f1a<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 8\/15 (Thu.) *slight rain or shine<br \/>\n\u2022 15:00~17:30<br \/>\n\u2022 Free viewing<br \/>\n\u2022 Dainyu Hakusan Shrine<br \/>\n\u2022 <a href=\"https:\/\/maps.app.goo.gl\/uYrd9KrmMdWhDtg2A\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">2564 Nijofukui, Itoshima City, Fukuoka <\/a><br \/>\n\u2022 <a href=\"https:\/\/kanko-itoshima.jp\/spot\/dainyukazura\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/kanko-itoshima.jp\/spot\/dainyukazura\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/fn_tag-of-war-with-dainyu-kazura_2024_cl-001.jpeg?resize=1400%2C932&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Dainyu Tug-of-War, \u5927\u5165\u304b\u305a\u3089\u306e\u7db1\u5f15\u304d\" width=\"1400\" height=\"932\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-164797\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/fn_tag-of-war-with-dainyu-kazura_2024_cl-001.jpeg?w=1400&amp;ssl=1 1400w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/fn_tag-of-war-with-dainyu-kazura_2024_cl-001.jpeg?resize=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/fn_tag-of-war-with-dainyu-kazura_2024_cl-001.jpeg?resize=1024%2C682&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/fn_tag-of-war-with-dainyu-kazura_2024_cl-001.jpeg?resize=768%2C511&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/>\uff08\u4e00\u793e\uff09\u7cf8\u5cf6\u5e02\u89b3\u5149\u5354\u4f1a<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This traditional event has been held for over 160 years in the Dainyu district of Itoshima.
