About this spot

This is the summer festival venue in Shimonita, a town famous for konnyaku, where konnyaku dishes take center stage. When the festival is held, food stalls line the plaza of the Konnyaku Handmade Experience Dojo, offering region-specific street food such as sashimi-style konnyaku, dengaku (miso-glazed skewers), and creative dishes made with konnyaku. The 2026 summer festival was cancelled by decision of the executive committee due to a forecast of rain, and the fireworks display has been postponed to the autumn festival on October 11. When planning a visit, check the town of Shimonita's official information for the latest event details.
