The Kamezaki Shiohi Matsuri is a festival at Handa, Aichi Pref. Japan, and held annually on May 3 and 4.

Based on the legend, the festival was named after that 5 parade floats (dashy) were drawn to the SHIOHI beach. Although the origin of the festival is unknown, there are some records from late 17th century to early 18 century in various documents. The tradition of the festival has been passed on over 300 years.The parade floats were reconstructed and repaired many times since the first construction. The existing floats have traditional crafts such as exquisite sculptures, splendid curtains embroidered in gold thread and 4 cloisonne pillars.In addition, elaborate puppets dance gracefully on each parade float. It can be said that the 5 parade floats in SHIOHIMATSURI were constructed bringing together consummate arts and crafts at the end of Edo (Shogun) period.
The pen is not in the container. Please take a pen.

#567, found at 16:00. 5th Cache found today.
My GPSr pointed different place. But, as I read the log carefully, I could find the Cache easily.
hirapon-san gave me the broucher of the Matsuri and I imaged how they pull down their Dashi into the sea. It would be a spectacular thing!
Hope I visit here again in Matsuri season.
Thanks to bring me here!

We went to cache hunting before the geocacher's meeting of Nagoya area. This cache is the old cache in Japan. I thought that I must visit this cache if I am the geocacher of Japan. I was able to visit this cache and my heart's desire realized. Thank you for the wonderful cache.

名古屋でのGCer会合に出席する前に地元のGCerの皆様と"Oku Hamanako","Saragi"を見つけた後ここを訪れました。最初違う場所を探してしまい,見つけるまで時間がかかってしまいました。素晴らしいキャッシュをありがとうございました。
