Shinshu Ueda Matsutake & Wine Festival 2026 with Chofukuji Temple

About this event

At the 'Shinshu Ueda Matsutake & Wine Festival 2026 with Chofukuji Temple' held at Richisan Chofukuji Temple, visitors can savor the abundant bounties of Shinshu. You can enjoy pairings of dishes made with seasonal matsutake mushrooms and delicious Shinshu gourmet foods alongside wines boasting the Chikuma River Wine Valley and hard-to-find Japanese sake. The venue, Chofukuji Temple, is located next to Ikushima Tarushima Shrine, and within its precincts stands the beautiful Shinshu Yumedono, modeled after Horyuji Temple's Yumedono. On the day of the festival, a special unveiling of the statue of Guze Kanzeon Bosatsu, a National Important Cultural Property that is shown only a few times a year, will take place, offering a rare opportunity to experience history and culture. This special autumn event allows you to simultaneously enjoy a premium experience visiting vineyards and matsutake mountains, unwinding in Bessho Onsen, tasting the flavors of Shinshu, and viewing historic architecture.
