■ On New Year's Day, many persons visited
Atago-shrine to worship and to see the first sunrize ■
Many people visit Atago Shrine for the first time. The worshipers form a long line along the approach to the shrine, which extends to the middle of Otokozaka every year. In addition, since the shrine precincts are on a hill that opens to the east, it is a great point to see the first sunrise of the year, which can be said to be one or two in the city. On New Year's Day, when the weather is nice, many people gather for the first sunrise of the year, despite the harsh cold weather.
愛宕神社境内は東方向が開けていて、初日の出を拝む、超絶好ポイント。厳しい寒さの中、多くの人が初日の出を迎えます。
愛宕神社の初詣には多くの人が訪れ、毎年、参拝する人びとで長蛇の列となります。この列は、毎年、参道の先、男坂の石段の途中まで長く延びます。
初詣で、人びとは新たな１年の安寧を願ったり、それぞれの願を掛けて拝んでいます。
参拝した後、毎年の幸運を願って多くの人がおみくじを買い求め、境内にある木はおみくじを括りつけられて真っ白に。
正月の境内では朝早くから巫女さんが出て、破魔矢などを買い求める人びとに対応しています（ご苦労様）。
■ The first monthly worship on Jan. 23rd/24th
at Atago-shrine (Jakojako-uma) ■
Atago Shrine holds a monthly festival on the 23rd or 24th of every month. Visiting on this day is said to be a monthly visit. In the past, the "Fire Extinguishing Good Luck Festival" was held at the monthly festival at the beginning of the year. On this day, there is an event called "Shago Shago Horse" where local owners attach bells to their horses, decorate them beautifully, and climb the horse road (currently Onnazaka) from the foot of the horse to worship. I did.
■ "Shirouo-ryou (ice goby fishery)" signifies
the coming of spring ■
In the Muromi River, which flows at the foot of Mt. Atago, traditional beams (yana) for white fish (ice goby) fishing are hung in the spring. It is well known in Fukuoka as one of the specialties that herald spring. People prefer to eat small, clear fish and enjoy their throat.
By the way, white fish (Salangidae) are similar not only in shape but also in cooking method, so it seems that there are many mistakes, but Shirouo is a fish of the Perciformes family, which is also displayed as "bare fish". Is a fish of the order Salangidae (formerly Perciformes). A completely different thing. The whole ice goby can be seen through, but the ice goby has a brown skeleton. Naturally, it is completely different from Shirasu.
