Why You Should Visit

Billed as one of Shiga's biggest coffee festivals and nicknamed "Otaga-san", this two-day event brings 27 roasters and drink stands from Japan, Australia and Thailand to Yui no Mori Park in Taga, including a Thai coffee champion. The highlight is the tasting format: you carry an original milk bottle and each shop pours you a small measure. There is also a market, food trucks, street performers and a pet Halloween walk. Entry is free, and the roughly 15-minute route from the car parks and station is promoted as a "sanpo" (stroll) path, so it suits anyone who wants to wander autumn Taga with a coffee in hand.

Can I bring my pet?

Yes. There is a Pet Halloween programme where you can walk the autumn park with your dog or cat, plus a pet photo contest.

Is there anything for people who don't drink coffee?

Yes. Chocolate drink and chai stands take part, and there is a market, food trucks, street performers and Mölkky to try. Entry is free.
