Misaki Autumn Festival Guided Tour 2026

About this event

Held in Ikata Town, Ehime Prefecture, the "Misaki Autumn Festival Guided Tour 2026" is a one-day-only special tour where participants can deeply experience the passion of the autumn festival. The greatest appeal is experiencing the powerful "Kenka Neri" (fighting procession) up close, where the clash between Yotsudaiko drums and the Ushioni (ox demon) is truly spectacular. Accompanied by expert guides well-versed in the festival culture of Ikata Town, participants will explore traditional events imbued with the spirit of the local people. The tour begins with a lecture to learn about the history and background of the festival, followed by viewing actual festival highlights, and enjoying lunch with a special bento box packed with local flavors. Participants have shared positive feedback, noting how moved they were by the unique and thrilling festival, how the kind and detailed guidance helped them fully enjoy the area's charms, and how delicious the bento was. It will be a precious opportunity to experience the local enthusiasm and traditions with all five senses.
