When you actually visit, you will see gorgeous floats and Iori floats parading through the town, and the "Iori songs" sung to the sound of flutes and shamisen will touch your heart.

Access is about a 10-minute walk from JR Johana Station. By car, it is about 9 minutes from "Johana SIC" on the Tokai-Hokuriku Expressway and about 3 minutes from "Fukumitsu IC"🚗.
