The festival takes place throughout the Nagao area. Please be aware that certain roads may be closed to vehicle traffic depending on the scale of the procession and the specific route taken. We highly recommend using public transportation to reach the venue. Please check for any local traffic regulations or specific routes from the nearest station in advance.
To fully immerse yourself in the excitement, it is helpful to identify the procession route and the best viewing points in advance. These rituals are precious legacies maintained by the local community; please observe them with respect and mindfulness of local customs. As this is an outdoor spring event, it is wise to prepare for potential changes in weather.
