We have not confirmed opening hours, prices or access details yet. The official website is the best place to check.
How we checked
Last checked October 20, 2026 against suwataisha.or.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 Suwa Taisha site confirms the festival recurs every seventh year in Tiger and Monkey years, and a 2025 Nagano Nippo report gives the 2028 Yamadashi and Satobiki dates, but no fetched official page states those dates, so the edition is reported rather than confirmed.
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.
