About This Tour
Experience the Story of Owara: A Journey into Yatsuo’s Living Tradition This immersive tour traces the narrative behind "Owara Kaze no Bon," the enchanting traditional festival held annually from September 1st to 3rd. Your journey begins with a guided walk through the historic streetscapes of Etchu-Yatsuo, visiting key sites such as the Owara Museum and the Hikiyama (Float) Exhibition Hall. As night falls, you will be granted exclusive access to a special experience normally hidden from the public.
