Kanonji City Golden Chariot Festival

 

Every second weekend of October, the city of Kanonji in Kagawa Prefecture hosts a Chosa Festival. This three-day festivity celebrates the traditional floats used to transport taiko during matsuri. For the occasion, the locals walk the streets of the city equipped with 23 chosa in the direction of the Toyohama shrine. A tradition dating back more than 150 years, it enchants visitors every year to the island of Shikoku to admire the floats made of gold and silver!

Each district customizes its tank, and the more elaborate, the better!

Sculptures, lanterns, decorations of all kinds, everything is good to take, so his chariot is the most beautiful of them all!
