About this spot

A covered arcade shopping street running through central Matsuyama, lined with numerous restaurants and souvenir shops. It's perfect for a pre-festival meal, and after dining you can walk directly to the festival venue. As the festival approaches, the street gradually fills with people in traditional jackets, and festival atmosphere builds.

松山発祥の座敷遊び「野球拳」を踊りにアレンジしたユニークな祭りで、8月7日から9日までの3日間、大街道・千舟町・城山公園(堀之内地区)一帯を会場に開催されます。連ごとに趣向を凝らした衣装と振り付けで踊り手たちが商店街を練り歩き、沿道の観客も一緒になって手拍子で盛り上がります。城山公園会場にはキッチンカーが出店し、食事を楽しみながら祭りを見物できるのもこのイベントの魅力。松山城の天守を望む立地で行われる祭りは、昼間に登った城が夜には祭りの灯りに照らされる姿も楽しめます。
