Yoisa season is arriving this year.  In 2013, 25th Yoisa was revived after 3 years break due to the Earthquake.  Since then, Yoisa was held annually in traditional August and with flute/drum team reviving.  With an excitement, we will hold 28th Kamaishi Yoisa Festival per below.  We hope many can participate.
