Name: 大峯山洞川温泉行者まつり
Date & time: 8/3 (Mon) Time TBA
Venue: 吉野郡天川村・洞川温泉一帯
大峯山への登山口として知られる洞川温泉一帯で、2026年8月3日(月)に行われる夏祭りです。修験道の聖地・大峯山の麓という土地柄から、行者や山伏の伝統文化と結びついた独特の雰囲気を持つ祭りで、山あいの静かな温泉街が一夜だけ賑やかな明かりに包まれます。標高が高く麓より涼しい気候の中で楽しめるのも、この祭りならではの魅力です。
Tips
会場周辺は道が狭く、駐車場も限られるため、時間に余裕を持って向かいましょう。標高が高いため、夜は思った以上に冷えることがあります。羽織ものを忘れずに。
Tips
Return by car from Mitarai Valley and head to the cave on foot or by bus from Dorogawa Onsen town. An admission fee is required. The cave floor can be slippery in places, so wear comfortable walking shoes. A light jacket will keep you comfortable.
Best time to visit
Approximately 45 minutes required. The intense summer heat makes visiting during hot afternoon hours recommended for cooling relief.
