Last checked October 20, 2026 against city.miyakojima.lg.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
Pantu of Miyakojima (Shimajiri) is verified as a recurring ritual: the city's official page describes three lunar-calendar rituals a year, with the third bringing the masked visiting gods. News reports from 13-14 October 2026 say the 2026 edition was held over two days (the 12th and 13th); no 2027 dates have been announced, so the next edition is undated.
