Kakeyo festival

「掛魚（かけよ）まつり」は別名たら祭りとも呼ばれ、毎年2月4日に金浦漁港船主が海上安全、大漁祈願、五穀豊穣を祈願する伝統行事。350年以上の歴史があるとされ、10㎏以上もある各船で一番の大タラが金浦山神社へ奉納される。「掛魚」とは漁師が氏神にお供えする魚のことで、荒縄に吊るされた大タラは、金浦神楽（きんぽうかぐら）を先頭に、漁協を出発し町内を練り歩いたのち、神前に供えられる。例年神社境内が参加者等で溢れるが、令和3年は神事のみが斎行された。

Kakeyo festival, also called Tara, codfish festival, is a traditional event held on behalf of shipowners of Konoura fishing harbour in the hope of marine safety, good catches, and a good harvest. It is said that this festival has been held for more than 350 years. During the event, shipowners offer the biggest cod (which weighs more than 10kg) to Konourayama shrine. The word Kakeyo refers to the offerings that fishermen make to their guardian gods. People hang the massive cod with straw rope and march around the town from the fishing harbour led by Kinpo Kagura to offer them before the god at the shrine. Every year the shrine is full of participants and audiences, but in 2021, only the shrine ritual was carried out.
