Tohoku Kizuna Festival Archive
The "Tohoku Rokkon Festival" began in 2011 to mourn the souls of the many victims of the Great East Japan Earthquake and raise the flames of Tohoku's recovery. Since 2017, the festival has been renamed the Tohoku Kizuna Festival, and has been held in sequence in the six prefectural capital cities of Tohoku, uniting the spirits of Tohoku people.
Take a look at this digest of how Tohoku's representative summer festivals, the Aomori Nebuta Festival, Akita Kanto Festival, Morioka Sansa Odori, Yamagata Hanagasa Festival, Sendai Tanabata Festival, and Fukushima Waraji Festival, have come together to enliven Tohoku and promote recovery.
