With the yells of "chousaja, chousaja", the mikoshi dashes down the stone steps at once and parades vigorously through the people in the square.The mikoshi is submerged in the sea two or three times, bathed in the splashes of the Kuroshio Current, and the mikoshi that rises to land enters Uraiso no Tabisho on the east coast (Uraiso is a beach on the coast facing the bay). Then, The priest recited a Shinto prayer, and everyone on the island, from the elderly to children, walks under the mikoshi.
