The “Kakezuka Festival” is a festival held at the beginning of October every year at Kifune Shrine (Tenryu River estuary) in Kaketsuka, Iwata City, Shizuoka Prefecture. The music (Hayashi) is designated as a prefecture intangible folk cultural asset.
Kakezuka Pass prospered as a commercial port from Edo to the middle of Meiji. The Kaketsuka Festival, which conveys its history and prays for maritime safety, draws gorgeous stalls while playing Kyoto-style eggplants.
The story of the port town is well communicated, such as the dedication of Urayasu dances and prayer to the shrine, which prayed for maritime safety.
The floats from the nine towns of Kaketsuka are all luxurious, including those with total lacquering and embroidery embroidered with gold leaf, gold thread and bronze, and precise sculpture by renowned sculptors.
This is a magnificent festival where food floats circulate while the Kaketsuka Festival Yatai Lion, designated by the prefecture as an intangible folk cultural asset, flows.

The gorgeous floats of each town that are drawn to the sacred pilgrimage
The highlight of the festival is the way of going through narrow alleys.
Luxurious floats will be launched from nine towns.
This stand uses plenty of high-quality wood, is applied with total lacquering and gold leaf, and the embroidery of the tent is also luxurious.
In addition, the sculpture was given by Kazushiro Tachikawa and his one in Shinshu Suwa, its gate, Nagabe Hayase in Owari Nagoya, and Goto Ryu in Kanto.
Oshiko uses small drums, large drums, and whistle whistles, and along the way there is an elegant and rigorous song. This eggplant is designated as a folk cultural asset in Shizuoka Prefecture.
Shizuoka Prefecture is in the top 5 in the prefecture’s annual income ranking, so you can see how the Japanese houses are lined up.
After all, when the floats curve, a sense of tension wraps around.
If it rolls over, it can be a major accident.
