Home of the giant kite festival and world kite museum

Water main cover in Yokkaichi. Even the police building is surrounded with kite symbols in this town, proud of the large kite festival it hosts each year in late May.

The museum which houses the large oodako kites, also has a fabulous collection of Japanese kites from all regions. (See the museum web page-in Japanese)!
