Why You Should Visit
The fifth Ayabe Autumn Festa takes place at Ayabe Nitto Seiko Arena, and this year it moves into the evening. The outdoor car-park stage runs from a children's fife and drum band and nankin tamasudare street performance through a tricycle race, Tsugaru shamisen, a hero show, a night-time bubble show and taiko drumming, before everyone gathers under the night sky at 19:30 for the finale. Inside the arena there is a model railway session, workshops and kids' yoga, with food and goods booths and an earthquake simulator truck outside. A good way for families to spend an autumn evening in northern Kyoto.
