Early Dinner at the Shopping Street Before the Festival
About this spot
This shopping street runs east to west along Chizu-kaido, which cuts through the center of Tottori city, with restaurants and cafes scattered throughout. As the festival approaches, the street is decorated with lanterns and banners, becoming increasingly lively from evening. With easy access to Wakasa-kaido and the station-front shopping street where the Suzukko Odori takes place, it's perfectly located for having dinner before heading to the venue.
Season & hours
Name: 鳥取しゃんしゃん祭
Date & time: 8/13 (Thu)–8/15 (Sat) (13日すずっこ踊り18:00–21:00・14日一斉傘踊り17:00–21:00)
Venue: 鳥取市・中心市街地(若桜街道〜片原通り〜智頭街道〜太平線通り〜駅前通り)
2026年の鳥取しゃんしゃん祭は8月13日(木)から15日(土)までの3日間開催され、初日の13日には18時から21時まで「すずっこ踊り」が若桜街道から片原通り、智頭街道、太平線通り、駅前通りにかけて繰り広げられます。傘の先に鈴をつけて踊るのが鳥取しゃんしゃん祭の大きな特徴で、踊り手が動くたびに「しゃんしゃん」と鈴の音が響き渡ります。翌14日には数千人規模の踊り手が一斉に傘踊りを披露する本番の祭りが控えており、その前夜にあたる13日は家族や子ども連れでも参加しやすい親しみやすい雰囲気が魅力です。
Tips
会場周辺は当日夕方から交通規制がかかるため、公共交通機関の利用がおすすめです。沿道での見学は早めの場所取りが安心です。夜も蒸し暑いことが多いので、うちわや冷却タオルがあると快適に過ごせます。荒天時の開催可否は主催者の発表を確認しましょう。
Tips
On the festival day evening, more restaurants become crowded, so arriving early is recommended. Traffic restrictions begin after 6 p.m. in the venue area, so be mindful of timing.
Best time to visit
About 1 hour. This timing allows you to finish dinner comfortably with plenty of time before the dance begins.
