A festival on the grandest scale, adding color to autumn in Nagoya

The main event is the "Procession of the Three Feudal Lords" parade, which involves the three heroes of the Sengoku period, Oda Nobunaga, Toyotomi Hideyoshi and Tokugawa Ieyasu, and around 700 followers, and besides this, other examples of Nagoya City's cultural property, such as floats and kagura music and dance, also make an appearance.
