At Ukiyu, you can float small lanterns carrying your personal wishes, along with miniature Nebuta floats, on the surrounding pond. This ritual, called Neburi-Nagashi, was originally performed to ward off sleepiness and cleanse impurities, and it is said to be the origin of the Nebuta Festival. It’s a magical, hands-on way to connect with centuries-old festival traditions.
Floating on the pond surrounding Ukiyu is a Raijin Nebuta—masterfully crafted by a Nebuta artisan. Raijin, the god who governs water and thunder and washes away impurities, was created to ward off disasters and evil while wishing for further growth and prosperity. As you soak in the hot spring, this powerful float enhances your bath with its mystical presence, adding an awe-inspiring and auspicious touch to the experience.
In Aomori, where summers are short, people pour their energy into vibrant summer festivals. Soak in the hot spring as the lively flute melodies of the Nebuta Festival fill the air, evoking the fleeting and delicate spirit of summer.
