【4K動画】京都の年越しの風物詩「おけら詣（まい）り」が2025年12月31日の夜、京都市東山区の八坂神社であった。参拝者は境内の灯籠に炊かれた御神火を移した縄を持ち帰り、新年の無病息災を願った。
おけら詣りは、大みそかの夜から元旦にかけて、薬草の「オケラ」を燃やして邪気を払う伝統行事。参拝者は境内で配られる縄に火を移せる。持ち帰った火を新年の雑煮を炊く釜の火だねや神棚の灯明にすると1年を健康に過ごせると伝わり、火が消えた後の縄は「火伏せのお守り」として台所に飾る習わしがある。

Kyoto's New Year's Eve tradition, the "Okera Mairi," took place at Yasaka Shrine in Higashiyama Ward, Kyoto City, on the evening of December 31, 2025. Worshippers took home ropes carrying sacred fires lit in lanterns on the shrine grounds and prayed for good health in the new year.
Okera Mairi is a traditional event held between the night of New Year's Eve and New Year's Day, in which the medicinal herb "okera" is burned to ward off evil spirits. Worshippers can transfer the fire to ropes distributed within the shrine grounds. It is said that using the fire brought home to start a fire in a kettle for cooking New Year's soup or as a lamp for a household altar will ensure good health throughout the year, and after the fire has gone out, the rope is customarily displayed in the kitchen as a "fire prevention charm."

菖蒲舞是京都除夕夜至元旦期間舉行的傳統儀式，人們會焚燒藥草「菖蒲」以驅邪避兇。信眾可以將聖火串成的繩子帶回家。據說，用帶回家的聖火在鍋裡生火煮年湯，或點亮家中的佛燈，可以保佑來年身體健康。聖火熄滅後，繩子通常會被擺放在廚房，作為「防火護身符」。
