Two regional festivals are scheduled to take place in Japan during November 2026.

In Ichikawa, Chiba Prefecture, the 19th Gyotoku Matsuri will be held on November 15, 2026, at Gyotoku Ekimae Park. The event, which runs from 9:30 to 16:00, features a portable shrine procession, music performances, food trucks, and a children's festival area. Due to safety considerations, only one Gyotoku shrine will be paraded this year. The musical lineup includes performances by Rie Sakamoto, Ryoji Miyanishi, The Happy Brothers, Sato☆Sta, and Organic Beat Air Express.

In Oyama, Shizuoka Prefecture, the 13th Autumn Leaves Festival (Koyo Matsuri) was held on November 7, 2026, at the Higashiguchi Hongu Fuji Sengen Shrine.
