About this event
The trial pulling of the 'Kishiwada Danjiri Festival', a representative autumn festival in Osaka with about 300 years of history, is a valuable opportunity to feel the powerful pulling just like the actual event and the tense atmosphere heading into the main festival. The 'yarimawashi', where danjiri floats weighing over 4 tons turn at right angles while sprinting at full speed, is the biggest highlight of the festival, and you can experience its power up close. In the trial pulling, danjiri floats from each town actually run through the streets as a final adjustment before the main event, allowing you to quickly feel the excitement of the festival. Through this trial pulling, you can learn about the preparation status and enthusiasm of each town, raising expectations for the main festival. Viewing seats are also available, allowing you to enjoy the powerful pulling in a comfortable environment.
