Nebuta Museum Warasse, A Museum In Aomori That Keeps Four Huge Illuminated Nebuta Floats From The August Festival, With Paper And Wire Warriors Lit From Inside, With Drum And Dance Demonstrations. The Place To See The Festival Out Of Season. · Aomori, Aomori

Nebuta Museum Warasse stands on the waterfront a short walk from Aomori Station, and keeps the huge lit floats of the Aomori Nebuta Festival all year. The festival, held from 2 to 7 August - confirm - sends giant paper-and-wire figures of warriors and heroes through the streets at night, lit from within and pulled by crowds who shout and dance. Out of season this museum is the way to see what it looks like. A hall holds the large floats, about four of them - confirm - and the lighting shows how the paper is painted and the wires bent. Drum and flute demonstrations and a chance to join the dance, as a haneto, are offered at set times - confirm. The building sits beside Aomori Bay. It suits families and festival fans, and takes about 60 to 90 minutes. It is worth the stop if you cannot be here in August. It is smaller than the real festival, so do not expect the crowds, the noise or the heat.
