2026 Kihoku Summer Festival KODO

About this event

The "2026 Kihoku Summer Festival KODO," held in Kihoku Town, Mie Prefecture, is an all-day festival culminating in a finale of fireworks that light up the summer night sky. Boasting one of the largest numbers of participating rafts in Japan, the raft race gathers competitors from across the country for heated contests. A diverse lineup of activities is offered, including powerful stage performances by dancers and bands, a hands-on corner for "Kubb," an outdoor lawn game originating from Sweden, and workshops using Kihoku Town's prized cypress wood. It is an ideal event for spending a memorable summer day with family and friends.
