What is the Aomori Nebuta Festival?
The Aomori Nebuta Festival is a summer festival that takes place every year from Aug. 2nd to 7th in Aomori City, Aomori Prefecture.
It was designated an Important Intangible Folk Cultural Property of Japan in 1980 and is known as one of the three major festivals Tohoku, attracting many tourists from all over the country.
Large, illuminated nebuta (lanterns) are placed on floats and paraded through the streets.
In addition to the impressive Nebuta floats, the shouts of "Rassera, rassera" by the dancers called "Haneto" also liven up the festival.
