'Nebuta Matsuri'

Recognizes as one of Japan Big Fire Festivals, the Aomori Nebuta Festival is renowned internationally and is designed as a significant intangible folk culture asset of Japan. During the festival, more than twenty large Nebutas - large lantern floats decorated with human figures - are wheeled along the parade route in the city of Aomori. Ahead of each float, Nebuta dancers, as haneto dance wildy to the hayashi music of the Nubuta Festival, making the summer night festival lively and exciting. It certainly is a genuine fire festival of Japan.
