Morioka Fall Festival盛岡秋祭り
Held annually for three days, the Morioka Fall Festival is a tradition that has been taking place for over 300 years. The festival features 10 beautifully decorated floats, each accompanied by up to 200 people, including musicians and dancers. During the festival, the streets leading up to the Morioka Hachimangu Shrine are transformed into a culinary paradise. On the final day, a traditional Yabusame horseback archery ceremony is performed to pray for a good harvest, peace, and safety.
