Accompanied by boisterous drumming and flute-playing, this summer festival in early August showcases a series of towering “toro” (castle-shaped lanterns).
Adorned with colourful mythical creatures, the tallest “toro” in Japan is called Chikasue, which stands at 24m high!
This video lets you truly appreciate the intricate art emblazoned on a “toro” as it is paraded through the night.
