Handa Float Festival - "Chintoro Boat" floating on the Handa Canal

I went to the evening session of the Handa Float Festival 🏮 The Handa Float Festival is held once every five years and is a large autumn festival that attracts hundreds of thousands of people from all over the country. This year, it will be held for the first time in six years after the COVID-19 pandemic and will be held for two days on October 28th and 29th ✨ At night, about 20 stores will be set up around the Handa Canal (from Genbeibashi South to Kuranomachi Park), and two Chintoro boats from Kamihanda will float on the Handa Canal while lighting beautiful lanterns, and the light will sparkle and reflect on the water surface of the Handa Canal, making it very beautiful. At Kuranomachi Park, a row of lanterns drawn by elementary and junior high school students and citizens in the city will decorate the venue. ✴︎Handa Float Festival✴︎ Venue: Around Handa City Hall Please use the paid parking lot in the city for parking.
