In late 2026, several Taiwanese-themed cultural festivals are scheduled to take place across major Japanese cities, focusing on recreating the atmosphere of Taiwanese night markets.

In Fukuoka, the ‘Taiwan Matsuri in Fukuoka 2026 Autumn’ will be held from September 4 to September 23 at the Fukuoka City Hall West Side Fureai Plaza. Celebrating its 10th anniversary, the event will feature authentic street foods like beef noodles and Lu Rou Fan, a beer garden setting, and a store for imported goods.

In Tokyo, two separate festivals are planned. The ‘Taiwan Fa Festival 2026’ will occur from August 28 to August 30 at Ueno Park’s Takenodai Plaza, emphasizing traditional performing arts such as lion dances and acrobatics. Following this, the ‘Yataiwan Fes 2026’ will be held at Hibiya Park’s Nireno-ki Plaza from September 3 to September 6, offering sky lantern experiences, traditional games, and live performances.
