The festival site includes many food booths. It's a local festival started in 2006 and not a traditional matsuri (i.e. not held by a shrine or temple). But it's the city's largest festival. Not famous though. Jan 04, 2017

The festival site occupies an area of a much larger plot of land that was the site of Nissan's auto factory. Along with a few other factories, Nissan closed its vehicle assembly plant here in 2001.I was told that it also had a test track here, which explains why it's so huge. Interesting that Nissan had a policy of keeping all its affected workers who were transferred to other jobs or offered early retirement. The city itself did not suffer much tax loss since Nissan didn't have taxable profits while operating in the red at the time. But local businesses such as taxi drivers, restaurants, and shops must've suffered.Jan 04, 2017
