Inuyama Festival (犬山祭)
Time
: Early April
Prefecture: Aichi
Location: Haritsuna Shrine

The Inuyama Matsuri takes place at the start of April in the city of Inuyama, Aichi Prefecture.

Timed with the cherry blossoms in full bloom, the festival showcases processions of three-tiered dashi—traditional wheeled floats. With roots dating back to 1635, the festival gained official recognition from the Japanese government in 2006 as an "Intangible Folk Cultural Property," presumably for safeguarding cultural heritage.
