About this event
The "3rd Iga Niiname Festival," held in Iga City, Mie Prefecture, is a local festival themed around gratitude for the harvest. Based on the spirit of the Niiname-sai festival cherished since ancient times, rituals will be conducted to give thanks for bumper crops and pray for bountiful harvests in the coming year. On the day, various food and drink booths will be set up across three venues—Iga Furin Yashiki "Kazedokoro," ChouChou, and Scopp—creating a lively atmosphere. In addition, harvest prayers are scheduled, offering an opportunity for local residents to come together to celebrate the harvest and share their gratitude. During the finale, a thanksgiving offering will also be made to the "Hachidairyuo," the guardian deity of the village rice fields. Admission is free, although food, drinks, and certain individual activities may require a fee. Access is convenient, located approximately a 10-minute walk from Iga-Kambe Station, and parking for about 50 vehicles is available.
