Yasaka Shrine was founded in 1685, with a festival tradition spanning over 300 years. A record from July 1742 notes that the mikoshi was swept away to Kamitakano in a great flood, confirming the festival existed at least since the mid-Edo period. Seven floats from seven city districts are paraded.

About 10 minutes walk from Satte Station on the Tobu Nikko Line. On the final day, the station rotary itself becomes the venue, so it's right from the station. Traffic restrictions around Chuo-dori during the festival, so public transportation is recommended.
