About This Event / イベントについて
Tenjin Matsuri, held July 24–25 at Osaka Tenmangu Shrine, is Osaka's largest festival and one of Japan's top three. The finale on July 25 is spectacular: a land procession of shrine mikoshi and costumed attendants gives way to the funatogyo — a river procession of more than 100 boats rowing down the Okawa River.
As dusk falls, approximately 3,000 fireworks are launched over the river, lighting up the boats below. The festival is a 20-minute walk or short subway ride from Dotonbori, and the riverbanks fill with hundreds of thousands of spectators.
