◎What is Mokko Race? ◎ Mokka is a wooden carrying basket used by fishermen to carry the fish and kelp they caught. I want to make it a specialty project that is typical of the fishing town of Kushiro! I came up with the idea together with the students of Kushiro University of Education. It is a race in which those who can carry a mokko filled with kelp, run up the long approach road, and play a drum are given the title of "Lucky Man of the Sea". ●Date and Time● 2023 Reiwa 5October 9 Mon 13:00~15:00 * Canceled in case of rain ●Participant reception time 12:00~12:30 on the day * If you do not accept the application in time, you may be disqualified. * After applying in advance from this Google form, 　Please come to the reception area of the venue on the day of the event. ●Time Schedule ☆ 12:00 Mokko race participants gather & reception starts ☆ 12:45 We will exorcise the participants of the Mokko race ☆13:00 Mokko race starts for each division ☆ 14:30 General male division, guess the winner game all visitors in the shrine precincts can participate ☆ 14:45 General men's division final start ☆ 14:50 Announcement of the results of the game to guess the winner ☆14:55 Mokko Race Awards Ceremony ☆15:00 End * Depending on the progress of the day, the time may change ※11:00~15:00 Children's festival & kitchen car & market will be held at the same time in the shrine precincts! 　Details are described later ↓ ●Mokko Race Participation Fee Free ●Number of Applicants● 1 16 girls in grades 5-6 of elementary school 2 16 boys in grades 5~6 of elementary school 3 General women high school students and above: 16 4 General male high school students and above: 32 * There is no upper age limit for generals, and general men have a handicap depending on their age. * Deadline as soon as the capacity of each department is reached ●Participation Prize We offer wonderful participation prizes according to age.

Oi Shrine is the water god of the Oi River, and there is a kami pond with clear water in its precincts, and the pure water from an old well flows into the precincts. The water temperature is almost constant all year round, so it feels cold in summer and warm in winter. The first pond was built in the precincts of the shrine in 1915, about 100 years ago, to commemorate the 300th anniversary of the relocation of Oi Shrine to the land of Shimada, and was built around the current parking lot on the side of the shrine office by the services of the veterans at that time. The current pond was moved to the center of the precincts in 1985 during the commemoration of the 60th anniversary of Emperor Showa's accession to the throne, and it is more magnificent in size and scenery than the previous pond. Now it is indispensable in the precincts, and it is a beautiful water scenery of the water god.
