About this event
"MACHIBITO of the Castle Town" is a two-day event filled with crafts, food, art, and music, held in the castle town area of Ozu City, Ehime Prefecture. Based on the concept of "Recreating Ozu from 100 Years Ago," "machibito" (townspeople/merchants) offering high-quality, carefully crafted products and works gather in this town where residents' lifestyles and sentiments have been preserved. In the earthen entranceways (doma), under the eaves, and along the streets of traditional machiya merchant houses, old-house restaurants, beautiful ceramics, colorful apparel, and freshly harvested vegetables line up alongside lively, cheerful voices. With music playing and a special atmosphere overflowing with retro-clad people and items, all visitors can become "machibito" and enjoy the event.
