About this event

Held in Higashiizu Town, Shizuoka Prefecture, "Shagetsu Festival" is a local festival held once a year to give thanks to the moon. While gazing at the beautiful "Moon Road" reflecting across the sea of Hokkawa Onsen, you can spend a quiet moment in prayer. At the venue, you can enjoy food stalls and "Nekosai Day" events praying for fishing safety and a bountiful catch. In addition, live performances by sampona and quena player Takamasa Segi will take place, enlivening the mystical atmosphere. This festival is a special opportunity to enjoy both the harvest moon and the "Moon Road," an art of light woven by nature.
