The Owari Yokosuka Festival and Ota Festival are the two large Dashi festivals in Tokai City, where you can experience traditional Japanese culture close at hand. The festivals feature huge, ornate wooden floats called Dashi, and the highlight is when they are rotated again and again with great force! You'll be overwhelmed by the dynamic shouting of the people controlling the floats. Other must-sees are the costumes of the people pulling the floats and Japanese mechanical dolls on the floats.
