福岡県田川市
まつり
福岡県五大祭りの一つであり、470年も続く長い歴史と伝統を誇る祭礼、川渡り神幸祭。
一番の見どころは、11基の山車と、豪華絢爛な2基の神輿が華麗かつ熱気あふれる競争を繰り広げながら川を渡る山笠です。
日が出ている頃は活気あふれるお祭りですが、夜になるとちょうちんで飾られ、あたりを幻想的な雰囲気で包み込みます。
One of the five major festivals in Fukuoka Prefecture, boasting a long history and tradition of 470 years. The highlight is the yamakasa, where 11 floats and two gorgeous mikoshi (portable shrines) cross the river while competing with each other in a splendid and heated race. During the day, it is a lively festival, but at night, it is decorated with lanterns and creates a fantastic atmosphere.
