How we checked
Last checked October 20, 2026 against iwagawahachiman.com. 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 confirmed as operating every year on 3 November at Iwakawa Hachiman Shrine, with 2026 falling on 3 November; the 3–5 November span and the designation level are not consistent across sources, so the end date is flagged.
