Why You Should Visit

A one-day outdoor festival built around music, food and hot springs, held on a riverside plaza in Totsukawa, the mountainous village at the southern tip of Nara. The stage, framed by mountains and the river, hosts eleven acts ranging from the local taiko club and Totsukawa High School music club to guest artists such as Natsuki Kawanishi, VOG, Souonji and violinist SHOGO. More than 30 food trucks and craft or activity booths line the grounds, with pizza, skewers and sweets alongside a free-flowing hot-spring footbath, a bouncy castle and a ride in a cherry picker. Admission and parking are free, so it works for families and music fans alike.
