The beautiful Takayama Festival, with its splendid floats
The autumn festival takes place on October 9 and 10 each year.
A detailed schedule is published around one month before the festival, in pamphlets and on the Takayama City website, but if you want to view the yatai at leisure, you should start with a visit to the Sakurayama Hachimangu Shrine.
