About this event
The "Minakami Onsen Oide Festival" will be held on Saturday, September 5, and Sunday, September 6, 2026 (Reiwa 8). This festival embodies both the wish for visitors to come to Minakami Onsen ("oide" meaning "please come") and the imagery of hot spring water gushing forth ("oide" sounding like water welling up). Organized by local volunteers, this festival is bustling with crowds as portable shrine processions (mikoshi togyo), the Oide Odori parade, and festive musical accompaniment featuring taiko drums and flutes are presented. It is an event full of local pride that colors two passionate days at the end of summer in Minakami Onsen. The event dates and detailed schedule will be announced once finalized.
