Toyota-City Asuke Summer Festival
(Asuke Natsu Matsuri)

Date : 08/13/2023, 08/14/2023, 08/15/2023


  • Asuke Summer Festival (Asuke Natsu Matsuri)
  • Asuke Summer Festival (Asuke Natsu Matsuri)

Several traditional, awe-inspiring events occur during the summer days in Aichi's famous town of Asuke. The Edo-period-style streets are lit with Asuke's distinctive bamboo and Japanese washi paper "Tankororin" lanterns while the Asuke River too shimmers with the flicker of candle light. Then there's the bon odori dance with kimono-clad men and women as well as lanterns and fireworks—yes, fireworks—which flow down the river.
Of course, it wouldn't be a Japanese festival without a fantastic fireworks display; Asuke's are especially dream-like with traditional Japanese-style houses and shops in the foreground and an enchanting mountainscape behind.
