The Tachi-Neputa House is a museum that displays parade floats featured in the city's Neputa summer festival. These huge floats are 23 metres high and made of wire and rice paper. The workmanship of these floats is simply amazing and the museum's set up allows visitors to walk around to see the floats from all angles along the 3 floors. Well worth a visit!
