"Kazusa Junisha Matsuri (Kazusa 12 Shrine Festival)" is a local festival with over 1200 years of history, which originates from a myth that the goddess Tamayori-hime no Mikoto (the deity of the Tamasaki Shrine) and her family celebrate their reunion at Tsurugasaki Beach where they first set foot on the Boso Peninsula. During the festival, "mikoshi" (portable shrines) from 9 nearby shrines gather at the Tsurugasaki Beach, and are carried by naked men that run through the shallow waters. The festival is commonly called "Hadaka Matsuri" (naked festival).
