My Youtube video of Sawara Autumn Festival taken in Oct. 2015.Dating back 300 years, the festival is held for three days in July (10 floats) and Oct. (14 floats).

In fall 2016, it will be one of the 33 Yama, Hoko, and Yatai float festivals in Japan to be inscribed as a UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage.Sep 07, 2016
