Wear a yukata and have more fun! Participatory games to enjoy Oedo.

There will be attractions for everyone to enjoy at the venue, such as solving riddles and clearing missions by relying on the tiles on the flyer, and enjoying the coolness of ice water in a tub.

Also, from 6:00 p.m., "Grand Banquet Time" will be held (except the last day). (except for the last day) Some kitchen wagon stores will offer special discount drink menus and menus that can be enjoyed by everyone only during this time.

In addition, this year's Kichi George Ennichi, visitors who come dressed in yukata, kimono, or other "Oedo" fashion will have their pictures taken for free at the "Movin'Studio" booth, a mobile photo studio that appears and disappears as if by divine providence. You and your family or friends can come to the event in yukata and take a commemorative photo to celebrate this summer.



The festival will also feature a samurai sword fighting show, a falconry show, and other Japanese-style performances.

The theme of this year's festival is "Oedo," and you will be able to see a live performance of sword fighting, which was developed from the Edo period kabuki performance, and a show of falconry, which is said to have served noblemen in the past.


■Samurai Enbu Yukiba

Sometimes they are Shinsengumi, sometimes they are warlords, and sometimes they are samurai.

The show will feature a traditional Japanese performing art called "Killing Fist".

Killing sword is mainly chanbara or fighting performance in historical dramas.

You can enjoy performances by an unconventional sword fighting group, ranging from traditional kata to comedy.


Killing Squad Show

■Taka-no-an

Takano-an, a falconry experience, will appear at Kichijo Ennichi.

A falconer is a person who builds a relationship of trust with a falcon and maneuvers a trained falcon for hunting by himself. In the Edo period (1603-1867), there was a profession of "falconer" under the direct control of the shogunate, a traditional cultural skill. The fun flight show performed by the children of falconers is also a must-see.


Falconry Show
