Tsuzawa Yotaka Andon Festival津沢夜高あんどん祭り
The festival, also known as the Fighting Lantern Festival, features large lanterns with musha-e (warrior pictures) painted on them that collide violently. A Yotaka Odori Dance Parade and children's taiko competition (pre-festival) are also held. The impressive sight and sound of the floats crashing into each other, amidst boisterous shouts, trying to destroy each other's tsurimono is a highlight. The lantern festival, which is a request for a bountiful harvest and a way to give thanks for the autumn crop, has become a message from the people to the gods.
