Overview

In late July 2026, Funabashi in Chiba Prefecture promoted a gratitude festival at KAMIMURA BAR, offering an all‑you‑can‑eat barbecue course with unlimited Ōzuwaigani crab, and Saitama’s ION Lake Town mori complex staged a free Kamen Rider ZETTSU show for limited audiences.

A week later, the region shifted to a broader summer‑festival season.

Simultaneously, the Saitama Construction Misato Branch held its ninth Dokken Summer Festival with games, food stalls and local beers, both aimed at families and local residents.
