Why not take part in this historic festival? The festival's highlight is the appearance of six floats, but the "float pulling experience" where you can move the gorgeous floats made in the 1700s together with the local people will be a wonderful memory. In addition, the original hand towels and work gloves handed out when pulling the floats will be given as souvenirs. - Schedule - 1. Guided tour of Chichibu and explanation of the Chichibu Night Festival (approx. 30 minutes) 2. Tour and guided tour of Chichibu Shrine (approx. 10 minutes) 3. Float pulling experience (approx. 120 minutes)
The Chichibu Night Festival is considered one of Japan's three major Hikiyama festivals, and is one of the most famous festivals in Japan, always attracting attention.

In addition, hand towels and work gloves will be given out as souvenirs when the floats are pulled.
The guide will tell you about the Chichibu area and the Chichibu Night Festival in multiple languages. You can enjoy the festival even more by learning about the stories related to the night festival in the areas where people live and the background of how the people of Chichibu have integrated their lives with the festival.
