Background
Aomori City’s summer float festival, famous for huge illuminated Nebuta floats and haneto dancers—one of Tohoku’s signature matsuri.
Impact on travellers
Not a public holiday, but hotels sell out and prices spike. Viewing needs early spots or paid seats; downtown nights are extremely crowded—book lodging early.
Extra notes
Traditionally 2–7 August, with a final-day sea procession in many years—confirm the official schedule.
