The city of Hannan in Osaka prefecture hosts a unique festival in Autumn each year in which 20 yagura – towers that are typically stationary at the center of a festival – are carried aloft and paraded around the town.
The 2022 parade takes place on October 2 from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. The Yagura are carried up the steps into Hata Shrine on October 9th, and the festival continues on October 10th.
To prevent the spread of COVID-19, many events have been canceled. Always check official sites before heading to an event.
