About this event

"Himeji Food Expo 2026 (HIMEJI FOOD FES)" is a gourmet festival held every autumn by the Himeji Food Culture Association. Under the slogan "Gourmet food is in Harima!", local dishes from the Harima region and across Hyogo Prefecture gather at Otemae Park on the south side of Himeji Castle for three days. In 2026, about 50 shops and organizations are scheduled to exhibit, offering treats such as Aioi nakara udon, Kakogawa katsumeshi, Himeji Station's specialty "eki soba", grilled oysters from Aboshi, local sake "Tatsuriki", and craft beers. Admission is free, and the event will proceed rain or shine. There will also be stage performances, as well as strider bike and inflatable play equipment areas for children. Along with sightseeing at Himeji Castle, it serves as an excellent opportunity to savor delicious foods from all across Harima at once.
