  • Tahara Festival

Beautiful parade floats and
mechanized puppets since the Edo period

The Tahara Festival is known far and wide for its ornate festival floats with mechanized puppets atop, and is said to have started during the Edo period.
Three floats and their mechanized puppets go on parade together with elegantly decorated portable shrines, while at night, children on the floats perform dances with elaborate hand movements for the crowd.
