Mikuni Festival is a lively festival held annually at Mikuni Shrine. It has passed down not only erstwhile prosperity enjoyed by Mikuni-cho, a traditional port town, but the spirit of true born townsfolk there. On May 20, six floats with gigantic warrior dolls as high as 6 meters parade the streets in a boisterous fashion with musical accompaniment of Japanese drums and bamboo fifes.
