Gotemba Waraji Memorial Festival Grand Finale

About this event

Marking the end of summer in Gotemba City, the "Gotemba Waraji Memorial Festival Grand Finale" will be held. In Gotemba City, long known as a base for Fuji worship and a production area for waraji (straw sandals), gratitude is expressed for the safe conclusion of the Mt. Fuji climbing season by burning and memorializing the symbolic 3-meter-long giant straw sandal. On the day, a wide range of stage events will unfold, including Fugaku Taiko performances, dance, a stage show by Tomato Niisan Chasu, and a mini live show by Tomohiro Furuya. Festival stalls will also line the venue, enlivening the festival even further. A special stage show by star Akira Nishikino will be held from 18:10, and tezutsu hand-held fireworks will be dedicated from 19:50, leading into a magnificent finale. Admission is free.
