2026 Onishi Ikoi Summer Festival: A Full One-Day Course

This full-day course is centered on the Onishi Ikoi Summer Festival (August 15, 2026, at Onishi Community Center), held in Onishi-cho, Imabari City, the gateway to the Shimanami Kaido. During the day, experience local seafood at a roadside station along the Kurushima Strait, and take in a full view of the Kurushima Kaikyo Bridge, the world's first triple suspension bridge, from the observation hall at Itoyama Park. Also stop by Namikata Park in Namikata Town to take a breather in the spacious grounds with large play equipment, before heading off for an early dinner. Once you arrive at the venue at Onishi Community Center at 5:00 p.m., the main event of the summer festival begins. Enjoy a summer evening unique to this town overlooking the Shimanami sea, surrounded by the glow of food stalls and the sound of festival music, together with your family. It is a summer moment typical of Imabari, spent with the sea breeze.
