What’s on
With its massive fan-shaped paper floats depicting heroic images of legendary warriors, the annual Hirosaki Neputa Matsuri is among the most popular traditional festivals in Japan. If you missed the real thing in Hirosaki this past August, check out this smaller, wonderfully local version in the lively streets of Asakusa near Senso-ji Temple.
Spelt ‘Neputa’ to reflect the regional dialect in Hirosaki, this offshoot festival is now in its 12th year. The festivities span three days, with illuminated night parades scheduled on November 23 and 24 from 5pm.
There will be five types of Neputa lantern floats, made by artisans from Aomori and accompanied by musicians playing traditional Neputa bayashi, a centuries-old marching song filled with chants, taiko drumming and flutes.
While you’re there, don’t miss the outdoor market selling farm-fresh apples and confectionery from Aomori. This is held daily at the square in front of Uniqlo Asakusa.
