    Finally, we will experience the Winter Nebuta Festival, where the floats take on a unique charm under the winter sky. In the quiet of midwinter, the festival begins as lights illuminate the Nebuta floats. A new winter-themed Nebuta, “Snow Dragon: Praying for the Winter of Asamushi” (created by master Ryuho Tatsuta), along with a giant Goldfish Nebuta, is paraded through the hot spring town to the accompaniment of lively musicians. The festival concludes with a spectacular fireworks display, and those who have tried on the dancer costumes are welcome to join the parade!
