Overview

A museum that explains the history and culture of the Hikiyama Festival. You can see actual hikiyama floats used during the festival and video of the traditional performances of children on the floats during the event. The Hikiyama Festival itself is gorgeous enough to have been called a “moving museum,” bringing together traditional Japanese techniques including metalwork, wood carving and lacquer work.
