Gorgeous parade floats in Nagahama City, Shiga Prefecture

I watched a TV show about parade float festivals around the country this past weekend and
it reminded me anew of the gorgeous floats which I saw in Nagahama City the other day.
The floats in Nagahama City are big because they have a stage and a backstage room.
They are proceeding in a narrow road and the array of the floats in the precincts of Hachimangu Shrine to dedicate kyogen(children's kabuki), which are really spectacular.
Also, such big parade floats turning around creaking dynamically at a narrow cross road and
the entrance of a shrine was powerful.
