Why You Should Visit

To mark the 110th anniversary of Amagasaki becoming a city, danjiri floats and taiko drum floats from across Amagasaki gather for one day on the north side of JR Amagasaki Station. Twenty-one floats come from four districts — Kifune, Tsukiji, Oda and Tsukaguchi — and you can watch up close as danjiri face off and clash in the yama-awase, along with the wild abare-daiko drum floats. Usually you would have to visit each district's own festival to see them; here they line up side by side right by the station. Otae Festa runs at the same time, with hands-on activities for kids and food stalls, so it works well for families too.

NOTE

Participating districts

21 danjiri and taiko floats in total from four districts: Kifune, Tsukiji, Oda and Tsukaguchi

FAQ

Does it go ahead if it rains?

Yes. It is announced as going ahead in rain.

Is this the same as the Kifune Shrine danjiri festival in August?

No. The Kifune Shrine Summer Festival in August is the shrine's own festival. This festa is a 110th-anniversary event that brings danjiri and taiko floats from four districts — Kifune, Tsukiji, Oda and Tsukaguchi — together in one place north of JR Amagasaki Station.

Is it good for children?

Otae Festa, held at the same time, has announced hands-on activities for children and food stalls.
