Wake Cos | Wake Shrine & Autumn Foliage

About this event

From November 21 to 23, 2026, "Wake Cos | Wake Shrine & Autumn Foliage" will be held around Wake Shrine, Fuji Park, and the hillside walking trail in Wake Town, Okayama Prefecture, all adorned with autumn colors. This event offers a prime opportunity to enjoy cosplay photography against a backdrop of beautiful autumn leaves. Photography is permitted from 10:00 to 16:15, with registration split into Part 1 and Part 2. Participants must register as members of the Wake Town Fan Club and submit an individual application for the event. Photographers cannot participate alone; paired participation with a cosplayer is mandatory. The participation fee is 2,500 yen, payable in cash on the day. Because there are no dining options at the venue, attendees must bring their own food and drinks in advance and consume meals outside the shrine grounds. Preparing outerwear for cold evening temperatures is recommended as a measure against the chill. In addition, detailed photography rules and participation guidelines have been established, requiring consideration for shrine worshippers and general visitors, as well as adherence to designated shooting areas. The use of fake blood, violent or antisocial expressions, and wearing real-life uniforms or military attire are prohibited. Commercial photography or shoots for profit are not permitted; however, participation for the purpose of distributing doujinshi, photo books, etc., is allowed. The event will proceed in the rain, but may be canceled in the case of weather warnings or severe storms. The latest updates will be announced on official X (formerly Twitter). Access to the venue is approximately 10 minutes by taxi from JR Wake Station. Accommodations at Wake Ugaidani Onsen can also be considered, allowing visitors to enjoy the event along with an extended stay in Wake Town.
