【Long ver.】"The Japanese Traditional Arts" Hachinohe Sansha Taisai Festival （english）

The "Hachinohe Sansha Taisai" helps decorate Hachinohe's short summer season.
Accompanied by traditional shrine processions and lively Japanese folk music, the gorgeous floats
evoke images of Japan's feudal era.

　Boasting a history of over 290 years, the Hachinohe Sansha Taisai has been designated as a National Important Intangible Folk Cultural Property.

The most notable highlight is the procession of mikoshi (portable shrines) from Ogami Shrine, Chojasan Shinra Shrine and Shinmei-gu Shrine, as well as the parade of floats (sansha) featuring subjects such as mythological figures and kabuki characters. As the floats which can reach heights of 10m and widths of 8m pass by, spectators often shout with joy. The night time parade of illuminated floats seems to hover in the night air and creates a fantastical atmosphere that provides a completely different way to enjoy the festivities.

Every year for the 5 days from July 31 to August 4, Hachinohe is enveloped in a unique excitement.
