Takayama Autumn Festival Float Exhibition

Come see the festival that is considered one of Japan’s Three Most Beautiful Festivals: the Takayama Autumn Festival.

During this festival you can see 11 “yatai” floats that are completely different from the ones that are shown during the spring.

In addition to the beautifully-crafted festival floats, you can watch skillfully controlled “karakuri” marionette dolls, parades of Edo-period watchmen, and many other kinds of events that showcase the beauty and tradition of the Hida region.
