Why You Should Visit

An autumn community festival held every year at Taketori Park in Koryo, the Nara town that claims the Kaguya-hime (Bamboo Cutter) legend. It draws over 10,000 people a day: food and craft stalls and booths from local groups fill the lawn, while 27 local groups take turns on stage with five-minute dance and music sets. On the first evening a resident act chosen by public vote performs on the main stage, followed by fireworks from around 18:30. Free, no booking needed, and easy to drop into with kids. This year's theme is "greetings".
