About this spot

The Omachi Town Civic Grounds host "Furusato Omachi Noryoku Matsuri," a beloved local summer tradition in Kisima District, Omachi Town. In 2026, the festival is held on August 13, with gates opening at 5 PM and festivities running from 6 PM to 9 PM. The vast grounds fill with lanterns, bon odori circles, and stage performances that envelop the entire venue in a summer festival atmosphere. Unlike larger city festivals, this close-knit community event charms visitors with its hometown warmth and intimacy. You'll see local children in yukata and families reuniting after time apart. It's the perfect finale to an evening of exploring the historic sites of Takeo and Shiroishi.

Parking is limited, so early arrival is recommended. Check town announcements or official information for details if weather threatens.

Best time to visit

From 6 PM onward. After 7 PM, when darkness falls completely, the lantern lighting creates the most beautiful atmosphere.
