Description:
The Uma-ichi festival has its origins in one of the region’s largest horse markets operated in the local area until the late 18th century. The present festival is now made up of a parade of Nebuta-style horses, a singing competition, and a fire festival.
Other Tips:
The fire festival is held at the end of the parade route and changes from year to year, so ask around to determine this year’s location.
