About this event
The "17th Yasuragi Sato Matsuri," featured on the official website of Omitama City, is a local festival held at Yasuragi no Sato Ogawa. Centered around five buildings—the Administration Building, Literary Arts Building, Flower Arrangement Building, Tea Ceremony Building, and Calligraphy & Painting Building—work exhibitions will be presented by various organizations. Visitors can enjoy seasonal flowers within the grounds, with the close connection to nature being one of the highlights. On the day, starting with an opening musical performance by the Suishu Hayashiren, a wide variety of stage events will unfold from the morning, including an opening ceremony, Yosakoi Soran dance, cosplay performances, panel theater, and shigin poetry chanting. In addition, "Exciting Experience" activities will be held, such as nature observation and exploration tours inside the park, handloom weaving experiences, round fan (uchiwa) crafting, and Japanese tea ceremony experiences. A stamp rally will also take place, where those who collect stamps from each building will receive a prize. At the "Chibikko Hiroba" (Kids' Plaza), plenty of family-friendly attractions await, including balloon art, a Japanese archery (kyudo) experience, workshops, and a mini train. At the "Food Plaza," gourmet delights can be savored with food trucks and sales of seasonal fresh vegetables. The exhibition showcases masterpieces by local residents, such as patchwork, pottery, watercolor sketches, haiku, etegami picture postcards, and ikebana flower arrangements. Because parking around the venue is limited, using the free shuttle bus from the Ogawa General Branch Office is recommended.
