Magnificent floats parade through the town
The Takehana Festival, held every year on May 3, is a festival of Hachikusa Shrine located in Takehana-cho. It features magnificent floats (designated as important tangible folk cultural assets in the prefecture) that parade through the town, originating from the Edo period.
