A rare, dream-like aura experienced only at the Owari Tsushima Tenno Festival

The 500-year-old Owari Tsushima Tenno Festival was the favorite festival of samurai and first great unifier of Japan, Oda Nobunaga. This festival is one of Japan's three major river festivals and surely among the biggest, most spectacular, and beautiful of all summer festivals. Staged on Tsushima's Tenno River, the Owari Tsushima Tenno Festival is designated a National Important Intangible Folk Cultural Asset. In addition, it was one of the 33 Japanese festivals added as joint entry "Yama, Hoko, Yatai, Float Festivals in Japan" to the Representative List of Intangible Cultural Heritage for Humanity of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) on November 30, 2016.
The Tsushima area is also famous for its autumn and wisteria festivals, with equally long histories and traditions. But it is the fourth Saturday of July, the night of the Yoi Matsuri Night Festival, and the celebrations that continue the next day with the Asa Matsuri, or Morning Festival, that really draw in the crowds.
