Hirosaki Neputa Matsuri - Japan's Coolest Summer festival👹

Details

Description

Aomori Nebuta is cool, but have you been to... Hirosaki Neputa?🌟

If you’d like to experience a Japanese local summer festival, Hirosaki Neputa is the perfect choice! Here’s why:

1. Calm and Elegant:
Unlike the high-energy Nebuta, Hirosaki Neputa has a more refined and peaceful atmosphere. The fan-shaped floats are beautifully designed and show scenes of battles, ghosts, and mythical creatures.

2. Up Close View for Free:
At Hirosaki Neputa, the floats weave through the streets, often coming close to the crowd. You can enjoy the stunning views up close without any extra cost!

3. Less Crowded:
This festival is less busy compared to Aomori Nebuta, making it easier to explore the festival at a relaxed pace.

Best of all, you can easily visit both festivals in one trip! It’s just a 45-minute train ride from Aomori to Hirosaki, so why not explore both?
