"The re-uploaded version includes full audio, as requested by everyone." No narration. No commentary. No background music. Just the original sounds of a traditional Japanese festival — the voices of local people, festival calls, footsteps, music, drums, and the movement of the Kiriko through the streets. This video takes you deep into Iida-machi, Suzu City, Ishikawa Prefecture, on the remote Noto Peninsula, to experience a traditional autumn festival held on September 20. Known locally as the Iida-machi Kiriko Festival (飯田町キリコ祭り) or Iida Autumn Festival (飯田の秋祭り), this is a local festival deeply connected to the traditional Kiriko culture of Oku-Noto. As the festival unfolds, Kiriko lantern floats are carried through the streets of Iida, surrounded by local residents wearing traditional festival clothing. The atmosphere changes from an ordinary rural Japanese town into a lively celebration filled with lights, movement, music, and powerful local traditions. 📍 Location: Iida-machi, Suzu City, Ishikawa Prefecture, Noto Peninsula, Japan 📅 Festival: Iida-machi Kiriko Festival / Iida Autumn Festival 📅 Date: September 20 🇯🇵 Region: Oku-Noto, Ishikawa, Japan The Kiriko festivals of Noto are part of the cultural heritage story recognized as Japan Heritage: “Noto — A Peninsula Illuminated by Lights: The Passionate Kiriko Festivals.” No narration.
