Hida Furukawa Matsuri Kaikan

TIME : 2016/2/17 14:10:50

Observe Furukawa's famous festival year-round in this canal-district museum. There's a 3D video of the festivities (with English narration), three of the massive yatai that are paraded through the streets, and a karakuri ningyō (marionette) show. You can also try your hand at manipulating the puppets and watch craftsmen demonstrating kirie (paper cut-outs) or ittobori . Festival drums can be seen to the left as you exit the exhibition hall.
