Izushi
On the 3rd of November every year, the Castle Festival is held to symbolize the castle town of Izushi. The highlight of the festival is the Daimyo Gyoretsu, a procession of people dressed as feudal lords, including 30 men dressed as spear-wielding samurai that parade through the town.
This festival is said to have been a product of customs passed down from feudal lords to the townspeople of Izushi during the Edo period (1603-1867).
