Chichibu Night Festival

Chichibu Night Festival features massive illuminated floats weighing up to 20 tons, hauled up steep Saitama hills on a December night. Each float requires 150 pullers, a 30% heavier burden than the average festival float, and the event attracts 200,000 visitors. This is 40% more crowds than #7 typically sees, with fireworks launched from the hilltops enhancing the spectacle.
