Hina dolls are displayed in every
part of Iizuka City, including theFormer Ito Denemon Residence,
shopping streets, and Kaho Theater to welcome visitors. These
tourist hotspots representing Iizuka
City attract many sightseers fromwithin and outside Fukuoka Prefecture.

This railroad event uses the former
JR Kamiyamada Line, which wasclosed in 1988. The main attractionis the operation of a trolley train thatdeparts from a location near the
Yamada Kasseika Center. The event
is very popular because you canenjoy the beautiful nature of Yamada
while riding the trolley.

Iizuka Yamakasa is a popular citizens' summer festival. On the day of
Oiyama, held on the last day of Yamakasa, as many as 3,000 men
wear mizuhappi (shortcoats) to carryparade floats. They run around thecity while people lining the streetssplash water over them. Enjoy thesummer breeze!

The long-established Iizuka Noryo
Fireworks festival attracts 80,000
people every year. Large-scale special fireworks including the “Niagara
Falls” are particularly famous.
Numerous bustling stalls open
around the venue of Nakanoshima.

This family event consists of anumber of attractions, such as the
Bon Odori dance where participantsin colorful yukata perform a Japanese traditional dance; an exciting
lottery; a vigorous performance ofOzuka Drums; various stage events
for all ages and a haunted housethat may be a little scary!

The Daibu Lion Dance is one of the shishimai (lion dance) events that symbolizes
Fukuoka Prefecture. It has been preserved and passed down to the present
day ever since it was first offered at the
Daibu Hachimangu Hojoe held in 1724.
The dance is offered during the event,which is held over the final weekend in
September every year.

This participatory event offers all kindsof hands-on activities related to ancient times, such as fire-making andcreating magatama beads, as part ofa promotional activity for Ozuka Tomb
(One of Japan’s special historic sites).
The event attracts many visitors as itis held at the same time as the special
display of Ozuka Tomb in the fall.

This festival is held every fall aroundthe shopping streets in Iizuka City.
Many events are put on, such as adance competition and a pageantconducted by citizens wearing different traditional costumes to celebrate
the history of Nagasaki Kaido.

This annual festival is held to celebrate the legend of Ichiyajo (onenight castle), where Toyotomi Hideyoshi made it appear as if he had built
a castle in one night to wither his
enemy during his Kyushu campaign.
Various events are held on stage
that attract many tourists.

This festival is held at the unusually
named shrine, Sake Jinja (salmon
Shrine), which enshrines salmon as the
god's messenger. Salmon that swim up
the Ongagawa River are offered to theshrine every year, while parishioners,
people who live around the river, andfishing industry stakeholders pray for arich harvest and good health.
