Detailed Travel Guide for Hamaori matsuri
Hamaorisai has been started at middle of 19th century by Samukawa Shrine. Once Mikoshi of Samukawa Shrine dropped into the river and lost it. However, later on, people found their mikoshi at the Chigasaki Beach. After that, people started drop their mikoshi as Misogi, soul cleaning.
