Before the Tango no Sekku in May, about 300 carp streamers are already adorned and swimming gracefully in the Kawakami Gorge in Saga City.
In Kawakami Gorge, Yamato Town, Saga City, carp streamers are displayed near the official bridge over the Kase River every year at this time of year, and about 300 colorful carp streamers swim gracefully.
All of the carp streamers were donated by ordinary households, and some of them were written as "Pesticide eradication" in hopes of the end of the new coronavirus.
It was sunny and sunny on the 24th, and we saw people enjoying carp streamers along with the cherry blossoms blooming on the banks of the river.
A mother with a family from Fukuoka said, "I'm glad I came because I don't have many chances to see cherry blossoms and carp streamers at the same time."
The carp streamer will be displayed until May 23, and tourist houseboats will also operate on Sundays and public holidays during the period.
