Visit the Shiryu Festival

Shiryu Festival 知立祭 Each float, which is 7 meters high and weighs 5 tons, is brought from five cities to participate in the festival. At the Hommatsuri Festival held every two years, the floats roll through the streets as if they are about to crush the eaves of houses one by one. The floats head to the shrine to the sound of festival songs called "Kamimai" and performances of bunraku and karakuri on the floats. In the following year's Aimatsuri, there are no bunraku and karakuri performances, but instead, the floats are beautifully decorated to dedicate to the shrine. #TravelJapan #TravelJapan #ShiryuFestival #知立祭
