Takemairi Mountain Pilgrimages

Since olden times, islanders have considered the foot of a mountain to be a boundary between cultivable land and the sacred realm where deities dwell. Expeditions into the outer ring of the Maedake peaks and certainly the Okudake range deeper in the interior were not undertaken lightly. In the pilgrimage practice known as takemairi, township representatives ascend a nearby peak each spring to pray for good fishing, plentiful harvests, and the well-being of villagers. Each autumn they climb again to express thanks to the mountain deities. Votive offerings of rice, salt, shochu liquor, seaweed, and sand from the shore are carried to the peak. On the way back, the pilgrims cut branches to share with their fellow villagers. The trek from Nagata to the summit is about 17 kilometers.

參岳

自古以來，島上居民便將山麓視為分界線，用以區隔墾地和神祗所棲息的聖域。要想一探相當於島嶼外環的前岳，或是位於更深處的奧岳群山，絕非易如反掌之事。這項參拜活動以「參岳」之名廣為人知，每逢春季，聚落便派遣代表，登上附近的山頂，祈求糧食和漁業雙雙豐收，護佑村民們闔家安康。到了秋季還需再次攀登，將米、鹽和燒酒，以及海藻和海沙運至山頂，獻於山間諸神，以表達感激之情。從永田聚落至永田岳山頂的道路長達約15公里，參拜者下山時，需折下小樹枝，分發給等候其歸來的村民們。
