Shingu Autumn Festival 2026｜10/11(Sun) Access & Fees

Why You Should Visit

Shingu's autumn community festival takes place around Tanzuru Hall and Chuo-dori Street in Wakayama Prefecture. The local Shingu-bushi folk song shares the stage with hula, hip-hop and yosakoi dance from performers of all ages. A local products fair runs inside Tanzuru Hall at the same time, so there's shopping too. Admission is free, and the venue is an easy walk from JR Shingu Station.
