Unique festival where they pull/drag a wooden fishing boat through the streets of Otsu-cho, Kita-Ibaraki, Ibaraki Prefecture, Japan. Fishermen's festival to pray for a good fish catch and maritime safety. Held only once every five years on May 2 (festival eve) and 3 (festival day). This video was taken on May 3, 2019 (本祭り). Includes an interview of the director of the Yo-Soro fishing museum where the boat is normally displayed. On the festival day, free shuttle buses run from JR Otsuko Station to the start of boat's route.
