Nagahama Hachimangu & Surroundings

Enjoy the traditional art of kabuki being performed on hikiyama floats that are themselves works of art; beautifully decorated with antique tapestries and adorned with elaborate carvings. Each neighborhood in the area is responsible for owning and maintaining a float and selects a child to participate in the kabuki performances that take place on the evening of the 13th, morning of the 14th, and throughout the 15th and 16th.
