Tsuchizaki Shinmeisha Shrine Annual Celebration And The Float Festival ("土崎神明社例祭", "土崎神明社祭の曳山行事") is a Japanese festival celebrated from 20 to 21 July in Tsuchizaki (Tsuchizakiminato), the port area of Akita City, Akita Prefecture, Japan.[1]
Approximately 20 floats are dedicated and parade.
Its rites centre on the Shinmeisha shrine. Each neighbourhood contributes a float decorated with giant figures. In 1997 it was designated an Important Intangible Folk Cultural Property.[2][3][4]
