Yatsuo Hikiyama Exhibition

Reference/Local/Exhibition/Literature Museum

This hall exhibition Yatsuo's famous Hikiyama festival floats is next to the Hikiyama Tenjikan-mae bus stop, an 11-minute bus ride from JR Takayama Main Line Etchu-Yatsuo Station. The six 7.5 meter-tall floats, each decorated with dazzling carvings representing the pinnacle of Etchu artistic handicraft, have been designated as Toyama Prefectural Tangible Folk Cultural Properties. Three of the floats are on permanent display. The hall also features exhibits on the history and tools of sericulture (silk farming) in Yatsuo, as well as a collection of woodblock prints by printer maker Akiji Hayashi. The hall also holds Kaze no Bon stage shows on every second and fourth Saturday. Attendees can thoroughly enjoy the shamisen and kokyu (traditional Japanese string instruments) performances, magnificent dances, and other great parts of the Owara Kaze no Bon Festival.
