Origen e historia
Born in 1965 out of a merger of Tottori's older Shan-Shan (bell) umbrella dance and the city's summer festival, the parade grew into a Guinness-record-holding spectacle by 2014 and remains San'in's signature summer event.
Bueno saber
Aug 14's dance blocks split into two sessions (roughly 17:00–18:50 and 19:00–21:00) with a short break — arrive for the second block if you want the biggest crowd energy after dark.
