The 99th Japan Coffee Festival 2026 in Toba Nakamachi

About this event

"Japan Coffee Festival 2026 in Toba, Mie" is the 99th edition of this coffee event, held on Saturday, October 10 and Sunday, October 11, 2026, around the Nakamachi area in Toba City, Mie Prefecture. Under the theme "Feeling the Sea," it is an event where visitors enjoy pairing coffee with city walks amidst the scenic port town atmosphere. Set in a historic shopping arcade that once flourished as the "Kitchen of Toba," you can enjoy unique local experiences through scenery and interactions with residents. Rather than merely drinking coffee, you can enrich the experience by savoring the views and conversations encountered along the way. Advance tickets include 3 coffee tickets, allowing you to sample and compare 3 cups of coffee while taking in the shopping street atmosphere, gazing at ocean views, and trying Toba's famous confection "Shell Leine." It is easily accessible from the Kansai region via the Kintetsu Limited Express, making it fully enjoyable as a day trip. Early October is a comfortable time of year, ideal for strolling while feeling the ocean breeze. Combining the event with sightseeing spots like Toba Aquarium or Mikimoto Pearl Island for a full day out is also recommended. Since the event involves walking around the shopping district, comfortable clothing and walking shoes are recommended. Bringing a light jacket is advisable to prepare for coastal weather.
