A community summer festival rooted in mountain village tradition
About this spot
A summer festival beloved by residents of Misato's North District, held annually at Smile Plaza adjacent to the Misato Town Office North District Branch. In this quiet mountain village surrounded by deep mountains, the glow of lanterns and voices around the festival stage feel especially warm and inviting—a true community event. Organized primarily by local youth groups and neighborhood associations, the welcoming, harmonious atmosphere makes it easy for first-time visitors to join in.
