🏮 Higashi Nagare
東流
Fukuoka (Kushida Shrine) · 11 July (Taryu-kake)
300 days to go
Rooms around Fukuoka fill up while the festival is on.
Toryu is one of the constituent nagare (groups) that organize the Hakata Gion Yamakasa and Hakata Matsubayashi (Hakata Dontaku) festivals, with its area along the former Higashimachi-dori in Hakata Ward, Fukuoka City. In the Hakata Gion Yamakasa, it erects both a kakiyama (carried float) and a kazariyama (decorated float) at the Gofukumachi intersection, and those who have reached their 60th year wear a red loincloth and a reddish-lettered mizu happi (water coat) during the taryu-kaki (other-group carrying) on July 11.
Getting there
The kazariyama 'Toryu' is displayed in the 1st-floor lobby of the Gofukumachi Business Center Building, just outside Exit 5 of Gofukumachi Station on the Fukuoka City Subway Hakozaki Line.
