Furukawa Festival Hall
# 2   of 4 most visited
sights in Furukawa
access  -  admission  -  ratings  -  links

The Furukawa Festival is held annually on April 19 and 20.

In the late evening of the 19th, a large drum (okoshidaiko) is carried through the town by barely dressed men, while beautifully decorated festival floats, similar to those of the Takayama Festival, are displayed in the streets during the day.

Throughout the year, visitors to Furukawa can learn more about the festival in the Furukawa Festival Hall (Furukawa Matsuri Kan), also known as Okoshidaiko no Sato. Some of the actual festival floats are stored and displayed in the hall.

Other attractions include a karakuri puppet performance and a 3D movie theater, which lets you experience the festival from a close distance.
