How we checked
Last checked October 20, 2026 against town.kikonai.hokkaido.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 196th Kikonai Kanchu Misogi edition (13–15 January 2026) is confirmed on the town's official page, and the official text states an annual 13–15 January pattern; no 2027 announcement was found, so the 2027 dates are expected rather than confirmed.
