Sawara Townscape New Year

About this event

Set against the townscape of Sawara, which retains the vestige of an Edo merchant town, 'Sawara Townscape New Year' will be held over the year-end and New Year period. During this period, the entire townscape, including shops participating in the 'Sawara Machigurumi Museum,' will be decorated with original New Year decorations, warmly welcoming visitors with a festive New Year atmosphere. In particular, on January 9 (Sat), a performance of the Kotobuki Lion Dance (Kotobuki Shishimai) parading near Chukei Bridge (cancelled in case of rain) and Sawara Hayashi musical performances at the Sawara Townscape Exchange Center (twice: 11:00 AM and 2:00 PM) will be held, enlivening the festive New Year atmosphere across the charming historic merchant district. This event is a valuable opportunity to experience Sawara's traditional New Year scenery and culture.
