Preview the Festival Venue at This Dignified Temple During Daytime

About this spot

A renowned Jodo Shinshu temple standing at the heart of Johana with its grand structure. It flourished under the patronage of the Kaga clan's Maeda family and laid the foundation for Johana to be known as "the town of silk, floats, and faith." The dignified main hall with its impressive wooden framework and large tile roof is striking, and simply walking through the temple grounds allows you to sense the historical depth of this town. As this temple becomes one of the main venues for the Mugiya Festival at night, viewing its quiet daytime appearance will make the contrast with the evening festivities more memorable.

Name: 城端むぎや祭

Date & time: 9/20 (Sun) Time TBA

Venue: 南砺市城端・城端別院善徳寺、城端伝統芸能会館じょうはな座周辺

2026年9月20日、城端別院善徳寺と城端伝統芸能会館じょうはな座を中心に開催される城端むぎや祭は、隣接する五箇山地方に伝わる民謡「麦屋節」を、城端の人々が町をあげて踊り継ぐ祭りです。編笠を目深にかぶった男踊りの勇壮さ、しなやかな女踊りの手さばきが、しみじみとした哀調を帯びた三味線と歌にあわせて夜の寺町に浮かび上がります。曳山祭とはまた違う、静けさと哀愁をたたえたこの祭りは、絹と信仰の町として栄えた城端のもうひとつの顔を映し出す秋の行事です。

Tips

会場周辺は夜になると多くの見物客でにぎわい、駐車場が早い時間に満車になることがあります。公共交通機関や周辺の臨時駐車場情報を事前に確認しておくと安心です。夜は気温が下がりやすいので、羽織ものを忘れずに。

Tips

You can stop here on the way back to the town center from Johana Michi-no-Eki. Since the grounds become crowded during the festival at night, daytime is best for closely observing the architectural details.
