How we checked

Last checked October 20, 2026 against city.tendo.yamagata.jp. Before anything appears here, a separate check fetches each source again and confirms that every date we show is in the quoted text.

Notes from the last check

The official Tendo city page confirms the 71st Human Shogi was held at Mt. Maizuru on 11–12 April 2026 and that the 2026 festival has ended, but no 2027 dates were found, so the edition status is tba and ticketing and hours remain unverified.
