di jepang banyak sekali festival. salah satu festival yang ada di kota toyotashi adalah koromo festival.

dikutip dari michinavi toyota :
"koromo Matsuri is a traditional festival which began in the Edo Era.
The purpose of this festival is to pray for a rich harvest for the year.
'Koromo' is the previous name of Toyota city. Eight neighborhoods around the Koromo shrine have their own beautifully decorated 'Dashi' (a float), which both Aichi Prefecture and Toyota City designate as important Cultural Properties.
People pull these large and spectacular floats, walking and sometimes speeding through the streets of the city center. During the parade, roads are covered by a carpet of confetti. Also, many stalls open at the Koromo shrine."



ini dashi (float) dari "kelurahan" tempat tinggal kami, nishimachi. kebetulan lewat di samping apartemen.




  

dashi ditarik oleh banyak orang, termasuk anak-anak. kadang sambil berlari. ngeliatnya ngeri juga, takut mereka jatuh.
yang di belakang sepertinya bagian rem, badan mereka besar dan kekar :)

  

suasana di tengah kota. rame banget!!!
