Local cultural festivals are being held across various regions in Japan. In Yokohama, the Chigasaki Sugiyama Shrine Reitaisai featured a ‘Yoino-miya’ event with musical floats and food stalls, followed by a portable shrine procession (Mikoshi Togyo) moving from the shrine toward Center Minami Station.

In Tottori City, the 33rd Rakuzarakuichi festival is scheduled for October 17 and 18 at Tottori Toshogu. The event includes a pre-festival on the 17th with music and DJ performances, while the main festival on the 18th will host music stages, food stalls, flea markets, workshops, and tree-climbing activities for children.
