Takumi no Sato Autumn Festival - October 22nd & 23rd

There is a day of fantastic family fun coming up at Takuminosato Craft Village with their Autumn Festival. There are loads of activities on offer with things to eat, displays, performances and some handmade portable shrines. This is an annual happening and is always a popular day out with families and children.

 As with all things at Takuminosato, children are actively encouraged to get involved and it is a great opportunity to experience traditional Japanese culture.

 The food on offer is traditional local fare and the flavors are typical for autumn in Snow Country.

 Mochi making is always a favorite as you get to pulverize the rice yourself, which takes good teamwork and timing. The result is well worth it as you will then be able to eat delicious mochi.

This is part of the worship of the god of fire that is in the Taineiji Temple at Takuminosato. Uniquely Japanese sights abound at local festivals and offer a great opportunity for visitors to see countryside life in Japan close up, as a opposed to big city sprawl.

Don't miss out. Saturday October 22nd and Sunday October 23rd.
