The boats made by each family are mainly made of bamboo, planks, straw, etc., and come in various sizes. The long bow ( Miyoshi ) is marked with the family crest, family name, and town name. The boat is decorated with the deceased's hobbies and tastes to create a distinctive boat. In August, many boats are built and decorated in various ways, and many of them can be seen on the streets.
On the day of the festival, at dusk, the sound of bells ringing "chan-kong-chan-kong" and shouts of "doi-doi" can be heard from all over the town, and the deafening sound of firecrackers can be heard as the procession continues late into the night.
