The Kishiwada Danjiri event takes place between the dates 14th of September until 15th of September the day after.

It also referred to as ‘The Danjiri Float Festival’. It is held to pray for a rich harvest of grain by Lord Nagayasu Okabe.

The tradition of the festival is more than 300 years old. There are other Danjiri festivals, like in Kobe, but they are less spectacular compared to this one hosted in Kishiwada city.
