About this event

In the headwaters of the Chikugo River at Eco Village Minamoto (Oyama Shakunage-en) in Taraibaru, Oyama-machi, Hita City, Oita Prefecture, the "Genryu Festival" will be held. Under the theme of a day connecting with the forest, this festival features diverse programs including mochi pounding, an organic marche, live music performances, nostalgic traditional games, and woodworking workshops. Guests can enjoy freshly pounded mochi made from ancient rice grown in Hita City, nostalgic games like target shooting, bamboo stilts, and menko card flipping, as well as making original keychains. In addition, visitors can go trekking through the mountain area that the park director has cared for over 25 years. Live performances by artists including Saara and MATSURYZM will liven up the venue. The marche will offer fermented drinks, baked goods, honey from Japanese honeybees, and more. Camping is also permitted at the venue, allowing guests to spend a special day surrounded by nature. Admission is free.
