We totally enjoyed our walk around Karatsu, Japan. One of the highlights was walking through the Hikiyama Exhibition Hall where the authentic floats for the annual festival are lovingly housed. These beautiful and intricate floats dating back to the mid 1800s were so detailed and and colorful that we were thrilled to see them even as static displays. In the hall, they present a film loop showing the pageantry of the actual festival giving life to this wonderful annual custom. Well worth it.
