How we checked
Last checked October 20, 2026 against mamada-hachiman.jp. Before anything appears here, a separate check fetches each source again and confirms that every date we show is in the quoted text. One of the sources could not be fully re-checked, so a person will review this listing.
Notes from the last check
The official shrine page states the festival is held every 5 May and lists the venue, address and times, and a tourism-board page lists 5 May 2027 as the next date; the official page is more than six months old, so the stale-source flag stands, and admission and accessibility remain unverified.
Dates, prices and details change. This information is gathered and checked automatically and may contain mistakes. Always confirm with the official website before you book travel.
