In October, autumn festivals are held throughout Maniwa to give thanks to the gods for a bountiful harvest.

At each festival, mikoshi (portable shrines) and danjiri (decorated floats) are paraded through the streets.

In Katsuyama and Kuse, you can also witness the spectacular “Kanka Danjiri,” where danjiri crash into each other.
