During the Yamaboko Junko that takes place on July 17th and 24th, many spectators visit to see the Yamahoko floats traveling down Miyakooji. The Yamahoko Junko, which goes around the city, passes through three main streets and one alley. In the alley “Shinmachi-dori”, the yamahoko spread out over the road, giving visitors an overwhelming sense of realism and power that cannot be felt on the main street. Hachikuan, which stands on Shinmachi-dori Street, is a large-scale townhouse built by a wealthy merchant in the Taisho period, and has a “hokomidai” on the roof for viewing the parade of floats.
