Hokkaido's oldest festival with more than 370 years of history. The summer grand festival, which was being performed in a buzzing manner, with the herring fishing done and the appreciation for the good fishing. Thirteen floats [Yama] with gorgeous dolls are offered to the Shinkoshi procession, and the one who mingles around the town on the inspection of Noriko Gion is a masterpiece. The gorgeous summer festival is a remembrance of the Eihwa of Inishie. The 9th is the evening festival, and the 10th to 11th is the main festival. It is designated as a Hokkaido Intangible Folk Cultural Property and a Hokkaido Heritage Site. Image courtesy of the Ganghashi Tourism Convention Association
