Local Food and Festival Experience: Toyooka Theater Festival 2026
Experience how people in ancient Japan passionately created, took part in, and enjoyed theatrical performances—traditions that are still preserved in this rural farming village today.
Immerse yourself in the festive atmosphere in the ancient shrine like locals, and enjoy traditional folk dances and music performed by community members, including children.
To make the experience accessible for international visitors, AI-powered translation glasses are provided, allowing you to follow the performance without language barriers.
Gastronomic visit the night market in Ebara
Although the performance continues, the tour will depart partway through and head to a night market in Ebara, where you can enjoy a variety of local dishes from food stalls.
Discover cultural traditions passed down through generations, along with the unique flavors of the Tajima region.
Please note that this tour is part of a pilot program for future festival development, and participation in a post-tour survey is required.
