An event colorfully portraying the Futagawa Post Town of yesteryear

The town of Futagawa in Toyohashi City was the 33rd of the 53 post towns on the Old Tokaido Road, a major highway connecting Edo (present-day Tokyo) and Kyoto. The townscape retains the aura of those days gone by, and for the Futagawa Post Town Honjin Festival, it acts as the stage for a "daimyo"—or "feudal lord"—procession. This parade enacts the lord of Yoshida Castle (currently Toyohashi Castle), Matsudaira Nobuakira, as he would have come and gone through the former post town.
A honjin—or upscale former inn for high-class guests—tea house, Japanese taiko drum performance, and other events are held.
