The Kanto Festival is one of the top three festivals held annually in Northern Japan.
Neburinagashi Kan is a museum of Kanto Festival, that you can see floats for the Kanto Festival, Bonden Festival and Tuchizaki Port Festival.
There is performance of Kanto every weekend between April 18 and October 25. You also can try to bring 'Kanto' (a long bamboo pole with many lighted lanterns).
