Sagami Giant Kite Festival (相模の大凧まつり)

On May 4th and 5th Sagami Giant Kite Festival, which is an annual event, will be held at the Sagamigawa riverbed.

A traditional special event from the 19-century. The kite is about 14 meters on a side and weighs about 1 ton - the biggest one in Japan will be flying by about 100 men wearing Happi Coats at Sagamihara, Kanagawa Prefecture.

The Giant Kites of Sagami are called "Sagami-no-Oodako", the large Japanese kites flown by the Sagami Giant Kite Preservation Association in Shindo, Kamiisobe, Simoisobe and Katsusaka regions of Sagamihara City, which is located in the middle of Kanagawa Prefecture.

Access The JR Sagami Line to Sobudai-shita Sta., and then walk 15 min. or take a free shuttle bus to
the site.
