Hino Festival
The largest spring festival in the Koto region.
On the 2nd (evening festival), floats are pulled through each town in the dusk with lanterns lit, and the festival music continues late into the night. On the 3rd (main festival), three beautifully decorated portable shrines and dozens of floats parade in time with the festival music toward Bamieoka Watumuki Shrine. It is a spring festival representing the Koto region, designated as an intangible folk cultural asset of Shiga Prefecture.
