Experience the festival designated as Intangible Cultural Heritage by UNESCO
The hikiyama (floats) in Johana astound visitors with their beautiful paintings and carvings.
On display in Johana Hikiyama Hall are magnificent and dignified hikiyama, painted meticulously in the traditional Johana style, that are sure to amaze all who see them.
