The Ojima Nebuta Festival is a traditional festival that started in 1986 and has historical connections between Hirosaki City in Aomori Prefecture and Ota City. With the call of 'Yaya Do!', about 10 nebuta floats parade through the venue, featuring spectacular 7-meter high fan nebuta and a lineup of nebuta drums that is truly magnificent. You will surely be captivated by the fantastical beauty of the colorful warrior paintings that emerge on the summer nights in Ota. The grand ensemble of nebuta drums and festival music during the climax of the festival is especially noteworthy! ■Notes Crowdfunding is also being conducted. Support is requested.
