This year’s Yamada Festival sees the introduction of the new Omikoshi Realtime Map, allowing you to better follow and enjoy the omikoshi procession. Use this map on your device to see at a glance the location of the omikoshi as it is carried through the town.

In previous years, festivalgoers often missed out on seeing the omikoshi. This year is different. At any time during the festival, you can immediately find where the omikoshi is by simply checking the realtime map.

About the Author

The Yamada Festival Editorial Team was created to share the charm of the Yamada Festival, a traditional event in Yamada Town, Iwate Prefecture. Our mission is to pass down the town’s history, culture, and folk performing arts in a clear and engaging way.

In addition to official updates, we introduce the voices of those who support the festival and provide helpful guidance for visitors. The festival is the pride of the town and a bond that connects the community — a spirit we will continue to share both in Japan and abroad.
