About this spot

Located just a short walk from Tanable Shrine, this facility permanently displays the spectacular floats used in the traditional summer festival "Tanable Matsuri" held every August. Seeing these large, ornate floats with colorful carvings and lanterns up close outside festival season is a rare opportunity to experience Shimokita's traditional culture. The air-conditioned indoor space is perfect for cooling off on hot summer days, a welcome amenity for families. Children will be amazed by the size and grandeur of the floats—an informal educational experience before heading to the beach.

Tips

Just a few minutes' walk from Tanable Shrine. The cool interior is ideal for taking a break from the heat. Confirm photo permissions at the reception desk beforehand.
