2026 Ōyu Grand Taiko Festival Full-Day Experience
A one-day course centered on the "Ōyu Grand Taiko Festival" held at Michi-no-Eki Ōyu (Yuno Station Ōyu) in Kakudate City on August 15, 2026. Start by visiting the Ōyu Circular Stone Alignments, a World Heritage candidate, to experience Jomon-era ruins, then visit the Ōyu Stone Circle Museum to learn about unearthed artifacts and lifestyle. Next, walk through the adjacent old town streets of Kemano and soak in the foot bath at Ōyu Hot Spring. In the early evening, enjoy dinner at the rest area, then stay for the main event as the sun sets. Watch as large drums resound through the hot spring town surrounded by steam—an ideal day for families to enjoy together. A course where you can experience Jomon history, hot spring charm, and local traditional festivals all in one day.
