Tips

Check Odate City and the Odate Daimonji Festival Executive Committee's official announcements for weather-related cancellation information. After the event, stagger your exit as roads and parking areas around the venue become congested. If using JR Odate Station, check train departure times in advance, as crowds increase immediately after the show ends.
