Summer Festival 2022



There are lots of summer festivals in Otaru from June to August.

The festivals were held for the first time in three years.

Festival stalls are called "Demise" line up along the streets, and you can enjoy various kinds of food and game stalls.

Mikoshi is a sacred palanquin in which deity rides at the time of the festival. This palanquin is shaped like a miniature Shinto shrine building. People carry it on their shoulders with saying "Wasshoi! Wasshoi!" and parade around the city.







OTARU USHIO TAIKO is a Japanese drum and very important traditional performing art. You must be impressed by their dynamic performance.
