【JAPAN】Ishinomaki Kawabiraki Festival 2025 | Tanabata Tunnel and Big Catch Dance Parade

Join me as I explore the 102nd Ishinomaki Kawabiraki Festival held on August 3, 2025. This summer event in Miyagi Prefecture celebrates the spirit of recovery and connection to the sea. I start by walking through the parade route, lined with Tanabata-style decorations and food stalls, then witness the grand finale — the Tairyo Odori (Big Catch Dance).
