The 48th Kushira Kurotsuchi Festival

About this event

The "48th Kushira Kurotsuchi Festival," held in Kanoya City, Kagoshima Prefecture, is a locally beloved agricultural festival celebrating the blessings of the sun and earth. The venue features on-site sales of fresh local produce and the sale of an entire head's worth of Kushira's prized Japanese Black beef (wagyu). Additionally, the "Kushira de Marche" features offerings from local high school students and dairy products, introducing visitors to regionally distinct goods. The stage program is packed with excitement, including agricultural produce trivia quizzes, kids' stage shows, a stage performance of the high school musical "Hime and Hiko," and a show by "Kanoya Kampachiro." Dedicated children's zones offer bouncy attractions, strike-out games, and a morning display of police motorcycles and patrol cars. Visitors can also enjoy an egg grab challenge and a grand raffle with luxury prizes. Surrounding roads and the area in front of the park become a pedestrian precinct lined with festival stalls. Rooted in the community, this festival showcases local agriculture and offers fun for the entire family.
