With a history of more than 260 years, the attraction of the Shinjo Festival is its gorgeous float procession, the sound of the musical accompaniment, and the local people’s passion for the festival that has been passed down from generation to generation.

It is like a historical picture scroll reminiscent of the feudal era, such as the floats that express various scenes from kabuki and stories, the traditional mikoshi procession, and the elegant Hagino deer dance and Nitayama deer dance performed at the Shinjo castle ruins.

The hot summer in Yamagata ends with the Shinjo Festival, and the season changes to autumn.
