About this event

This festival honors and commemorates the great achievements of Sakamoto Ryoma, a hero of the Meiji Restoration born in Tosa. While promoting regional revitalization, it shares Tosa's pride, tradition, and passion with the entire nation. In honor of Sakamoto Ryoma, who was a swordsman of the Hokushin Itto-ryu school, a youth kendo tournament will be held on a special stage set up in Katsurahama Park, alongside various hands-on experience booths and workshops. With the entire park serving as the venue, stages themed around Ryoma and interactive participatory programs will take place, and a stamp rally offering chances to win Ryoma merchandise will also be held. It is a one-day-only festival where visitors can participate while exploring the park and tracing the connections to this historical figure.
