Hachinohe Sansha Taisai

What travelers say:

Extremely gorgeous and worth seeing. Running between July 31 and August 5 every year. Be sure to book at least 3-4 a month in advance, otherwise it is difficult to book a local hotel, especially the transportation is convenient. The huge and beautiful roller coaster is the top priority. The content is slightly different every day (see figure 1). Considering that there are other major festivals in the nearby northeast of Japan on August1-8, and those festivals are heavily held in August 4-7, it is recommended to come to the eight households first between July 31 and August 2. The content of the Bahu Sanshe Festival on July 31 and August 4 is the same, and the roller coaster is displayed in the middle of the road and accompanied by musical instruments and slogans. Tourists can watch and take photos at close range (see Figure 123). The departure type on August 1 is the same as the return type on August 3. In addition to the mountain bike will cruise according to the designated route, there are also the Shenyu team sent by various shrines (see 4-9), so it is the most worth seeing for two days. But the road is isolated during the cruise, so it is impossible to take a photo with the mountain bike up close. There is no god-yu team on the night of August 2, the others are the same. In addition, there are ritual rituals of various shrines and polo games in the afternoon on August 2 (but not very exciting, the venue is too small). See Figure 10-11. In addition, there are always roller coasters displays and various food stalls during the festival in Civic Square. So if the schedule is not wide enough to see only one day, then August 1. The roller coaster cruise lasts about 2 hours, and it is very tired to stand and watch, so it is recommended to bring a cushion to the side of the road in advance (but most will be occupied by locals long ago, especially the more advanced part of the cruise route).
