About this event

From Saturday, November 21 to Sunday, November 22, 2026, the "98th Takasaki Ebisu-ko Market" will take place in downtown Takasaki City, Gunma Prefecture. This commercial festival is held by local retailers in Takasaki to express their daily gratitude and pray for the prosperity of Takasaki as a merchant city. It is a traditional event running since the early Showa period, marking its 98th edition this year. At the venue, goods will be sold with "Ebisu-fuda Lottery" tickets offering luxurious prizes, with a 200,000-yen JTB Travel Gift Card prepared as the special grand prize. Additionally, a wide variety of activities are planned, including the "Ebisu-ko Mampuku Festa" gathering kitchen cars, the "Nekketsu! High School Sales Koshien" where high school students compete in selling products, and the "Kids Flea Market" where children can act as both sellers and buyers. Visitors can also enjoy the "Seven Lucky Gods Goshuin Stamp Pilgrimage" to pray for business success and family safety, mikoshi portable shrine processions, and the sale of Takasaki's specialty "Meoto Ebisu." Packed not only with shopping but also performances and hands-on activities, it promises to be two enjoyable days across generations. Traffic restrictions will also be enforced around the venue.
