佐原離東京只有一個多小時,可是它像是另一個時代的城鎮。擁有著江戶時代的河道,小屋和習俗,如果你想感受一下日本二百多年前那就一定要來參觀一下。而最有特色的是佐原每年也會有兩個大祭,而這一次我很幸運的在七月佐原大祭發生時在東京,所以我們特地前往佐原去欣賞這個祭典。

由東京到佐原

由東京站的巴士站出發

佐原是在千葉縣,離成田機場其實較近。不過由東京出發的話坐巴士會快一些,大概要一小時二十分鐘。在東京站西口的JR巴士站可以買票,以下是如向購票的一個短片:

車票為1750日圓,我建議出發用巴士,不過最後回東京的巴士在下午三時十五分就會開出,所以我們回程時是住火車。

這是我在2017年七月拍的火車時間表

坐火車是要在千葉轉車,而且會比坐巴士慢,不過有較晚的時段。

巴士是在佐原火車站旁下車的,所以最好是在到達時去火車站看一下回程火車的時間,先買票再去佐原市中心。在佐原大祭時也有一些快車,那些是要買指定座位票,可對我們來說還是太早了,所以我們買了普通票(並沒有指定時段,不過我們決定全八時四十一分的火車走。

 

佐原大祭

在祭典花車開始前的祭拜

佐原大祭被稱為關東三大祭典之一,分別在七月和十月進行。在江戶時代就開始,它有二,三百年歷史,並例為並非物質文化遺產。對宗教不太熟悉的人我先介紹一下日本的宗教:它是一個以日本為神明的信仰,而在日本上有很多大大小小不同的神明主管著不同地方。在七月的佐原大祭原意是為了驅趕夏天潮濕帶來的病,而十月的是為了慶祝秋天收成。這兩個大祭也是由不同神舍舉辦。

去佐原大祭最主要是看它的花車和音樂,不過也少不了祭典的小攤檔活動。和在迪士尼那些花車不一樣,佐原大祭的花車古色古香,每一個也代表了不同的神話故事,而且造工也十分仔細。七月和十月的花車不一樣,七月有十個而十月有十四個,每一個也是要人手拉動。而在遊行時會有樂手在花車上吹出有名的佐原囃子,可是日本三大囃子之一。

兩個佐原大祭也會舉行三天,每一天也有不同的花車遊行時段。在我們去的那天它在晚上六時後才開始,所以我們才那麼晚走。不過我也覺得你一定要留到花車開燈為止,這可和它在白天時的風景有不同的風味。

而花車拉動時的景象也是十分值得一看。由於是全人手的,車可是被一大堆人在前在後推拉著,而轉車時的光景也是很特別。光是用字是描述不來,所以以下是一條短片:

由於每一輛花車也很重,所以佐原的花車巡遊和平常時的不一樣。大多數人也不會在街道兩旁等,因為花車都太慢了。最好的欣賞方法是跟著它走或是在有高層的屋上看。

雖然我不太記得我有沒有看到所有花車,不過以下是七月佐原大祭花車:

  • 神武天皇
  • 菅原
  • 杜坎大田
  • 篕茨主人
  • 天堂鈿水
  • 鯉魚
  • 茶膠寺
  • 金太郎巫婆
  • 伊邪那岐

所有要拉花車的大人小孩也會穿起所屬神舍的衣服,而不少來參觀的人也會穿起浴衣。

除了以上以外當然少不了吃的。在花車巡迴和到神舍的路上不止有活動攤檔,也有不少吃的。像是草莓冰,糯米肉腸,炸雞還有朱古力香蕉,也只是冰山一角。所以不用擔心餓。

 

佐原其他景點

佐原其他祭典

佐原大祭是佐原最出名的祭典,不過它還有兩個祭典:

雛祭

也稱女兒節或是人偶節,它在二月頭到三月舉行,又是一個為了由驅趕疾病而演化而成的節日。

日本盂蘭盆節

這是一個祭祖的節日,由中國傳入。在佐原會有放燈籠等等活動。
