The Tsugaru-han Neputa Village and how these beautiful gigantic floats are constructed and history behind them. The amazing skilled Shamisen performancer was stunning. Combined with our guide Tomio's help we learned the vast historical, political and culture of Hirosaki from the castle, Saumari life, their housing, according to rank and the vast agricultural importance of Tsugaru culture of Hirosaki/ Aomori to Japan.
