Why You Should Visit

A one-day festival in Kashihara, Nara, a city that calls itself the birthplace of sake, built around a simple idea: start with a toast. The venue, Migrance (Kashihara City Hall Annex), is a 3-minute walk from Kintetsu Yamato-Yagi Station. Advance-only ticket sets pair three Yamato sakes with three dishes chosen by an international sake sommelier, and the highlight is a 100-person toast where everyone raises a cup at once. Entry to the grounds is free, with food trucks, a local market and a kids' market where children run the stalls. Good for sake fans and families alike.

Essentials

There are 6 car parks within a 12-minute walk of Migrance (Kashihara City Hall Annex), and 1 public restrooms within 8 minutes. The map shows each with its walking time.
