Why You Should Visit
The annual harvest festival of the Tannan district of Tamba-Sasayama, in its 38th year in 2026. Alongside Tamba-Sasayama black edamame and Tamba chestnuts, the farm market sells local specialties such as Amochi-imo potatoes, Tamba-Sasayama tea and Sumiyama burdock, and the food market serves dishes made with local ingredients. Children up to junior high age can enter a free lottery, and there is balloon art and shiny mud-ball making, so it works well for families. The venue is about 700 m from Tannan-Sasayamaguchi IC.
