KAWAGOE FESTIVAL
The Kawagoe Festival has developed both by maintaining a history of over 360 years as an invaluable town festival that preserves the style and elegance of the Edo "Tenka Matsuri", as In 2005, the festival was designated as a National Important Intangible Folk Cultural Property under the title of ‘Kawagoe Hikawa Festival Float Event’
The Kawagoe Festival’s biggest highlight: ‘Hikkawase’. As they face each other, the several festival floats compete with each other in a hayashi performance (a traditional Japanese orchestra comprised of flutes, drums, handbells and dancing), cheered on by the excited voices of festival-goers holding aloft paper lanterns. The excitement reaches its climax with the evening ‘Hikkawase’.
