Story of Starry Night Ablution

Pilgrims of Blue Zone Ishigaki Island begin their journey with an ablution to purify and prepare their bodies and minds with sauna, cold water, and sea bathing along Nagura Bay.
The starry night bathing can be called a prayer to the stars, so to speak.
By exposing your entire body to the steam, cold water, seawater, and the beautiful breeze of Nagura Bay, you unknowingly offer up a prayer to the stars.
By placing yourself among the sacred stars, you will wash away the fatigue of the world and bring about a rebirth of yourself and your relationships with your loved ones.
