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. From August 2‑6, Funabashi Racecourse hosted the fifth Funabashi Summer Festival, featuring a water‑slide area, beer garden, a short‑distance graded race, shaved‑ice stalls and character meet‑and‑greets. 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.
