Regional festivals and outdoor events in Japan

Overview

Regional festivals, markets, and outdoor events continue across Japan through the autumn of 2026. While September focused on food and craft markets, October introduced community-specific and seasonal programming. In Tokyo, the inaugural ‘Autumn Night Museum 2026’ runs through November, with six metropolitan museums extending hours until 20:00 on Fridays. The Fujiko F. Fujio Museum launched its ‘Autumn & Winter Fair 2026-27’ on October 7. Late October saw the Asahi Festa 2026 in Aichi Prefecture, which integrated local festivals and featured interactive booths from Nagoya Sangyo University and Nagoya Keiei Junior College. In Gifu Prefecture, the Tajifes Vol. 2 music festival, organized by the student group REISM, was scheduled for November in Tajimi City. November programming includes the Ichikawa Sanbanze Festival, the ‘Oyama! Waku Waku! Car Nival’, and the Toshima Street Fes 2026. Other highlights include the 51st Ichikawa Citizen Festival, the Shoren Waiwai Festa 2026, and the Sapporo Foodie Bar. On November 8, several events coincided, such as the Setouchi Minato Marche, the Hanatsumugi Marche, the 40th Agricultural Festival in Amagasaki, and the second Wonder Market in Hanyu. The Okayama Marathon 2026 and the Hitaki-sai ceremony at Fushimi Inari Taisha were also scheduled. Mid-to-late November features several specialized gatherings. In Hanyu, the second Wonder Market at Kiyasse Hanyu includes 130 vendors and a charity lottery. In Tsukuba, the second Wanbaku Fes on November 14 is a dog-centric event at Tsukuba City Central Park. In Osaka, Daimaru Umeda hosts ‘TOM and JERRY Waku Waku Street in Osaka’ from November 11 to November 23, featuring over 200 limited-edition items. In Ehime, the 24th Marumaru Marche is set for November 14 in Saijo. Major food expos are also scheduled: the ‘Chuka-man Hakurankai 2026’ steamed bun expo in Sendai runs from November 14 to November 23, marking its first appearance in the Tohoku region.
