Registered as a UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage, this dynamic festival in Nanao City features Japan's largest floats called "Dekayama." Standing 12 meters high and weighing 20 tons, these three massive floats creak through narrow streets. The highlight is the "Tsujimawashi," where the floats are pivoted at intersections with intense energy. It is an unforgettable experience to witness the passion and bond of the local community.
