Based on the concept of "Explore Kanazawa, Enjoy Kanazawa", we provide selected information on Kanazawa, such as new stores, events, gourmet food, and sightseeing spots as a local information site in Ishikawa Prefecture. In addition to domestic media such as "SmartNews" and "goo News" in Japan, we collaborate with overseas media in China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Thailand, and Vietnam to widely convey the appeal of Ishikawa Prefecture.

A valuable festival where you can experience the festival on the spectacular 16m mountain lantern.

The original name of the Shinto ritual of Kasuga Shrine in the same town is "Osuzumi Matsuri". On the 19th, the eve of the festival is held, and on the 20th, a 6-shaku (about 1.8m) Sakaki tree is placed on a plain wooden cart called a 'Sakaki Mikoshi', which is used as a sacred rope (Himorogi) to be carried near the coast. It is a festival that takes the gods to the "Okariya". On the same day, a grand parade of 8 floats and 1 lantern mountain is held in the town. On the 21st, a float parade takes place throughout the region. This festival began in the early Kanei era, and is said to have been triggered by the gods of Kasuga Shrine going out to enjoy the cool evening breeze. Although the lantern mountain disappeared for a while, it was completely revived in the late Showa period, and anyone can pull it through the paid lantern mountain pulling experience.
