#ShizuokaTourism #777 #HamamatsuFestival #Float #HamamatsuTourism #GotenYatai Hamamatsu Festival is a festival held every year during Golden Week to celebrate the birth of the first child, and it was held for the first time in a long time since the COVID-19 pandemic. During the day, kite flying at the Shimada venue, the sight of the sky being filled with very splendid and beautifully painted kites, was magnificent, very gorgeous and wonderful. At night, the magnificent and beautiful Goten Yatai floats were pulled around the Hirokoji area in the center of the city... It was a powerful festival full of impact, and the power of this festival was generated by the feelings of the people who wished for the healthy growth of their children. Unfortunately, even though it had been a long time since the last time it was held, I was unable to go this year, so the image is a photo from the last Hamamatsu Festival before the COVID-19 pandemic. From noon, I was able to see and take pictures of the Goten Yatai floats from up close at the venue where they were on display, so it was great to be able to see even the intricate details of the decorations. As evening approached, people carrying matching happi coats gathered, and as the sound of Fueya drums began to ring, the Goten Yatai floats set off one by one. The town was filled with an overflowing wave of people, following behind the floats of their own town, cheering at the beauty of the Goten Yatai floats, the main event of the festival, and the power of being pulled around. It was so much fun that I'm definitely going to go next year.
