Tachineputa no Yakata

Tachineputa is one of the biggest summer events that is held from August 4-8 every year in Goshogawara. The event has a theme every year and people create Neputa, gigantic paper dolls with bright colors, which follow the theme of that year. In “Tachineputa no Yakata,” you can see the 23-meter-tall Tachineputa, or Neputa, up close in the 4-story exhibition room with a vaulted ceiling all year around. You can see exhibits of everything about Tachineputa including a studio tour, video of the festival and the history.
