How we checked
Last checked October 17, 2026 against kiso-nagano.ne.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 festival is evidenced as operating each winter, with the 2026 edition held from January 24 to February 14 on the organizer-linked official site; a tourism-board page gives a planned Miyanokoshi date of January 23, 2027, but the other towns' 2027 dates are not yet found.
