Hachinohe City Festivals

Hachinohe Sansha Taisai

This traditional festival has been held for more than 200 years. It began when the city bought large figurines from the Tokyo and Kyoto area and put them on hand pulled carts. These were the first floats. The highlight of this festival is the parade held on the city's main streets from August 1st to the 3rd. This Shinto style parade includes huge gorgeous floats and portable shrines. Each float tells a different story e.g. Shinto stories and other myths and legends.
