The event “Candle Road,” where the route towards the Tatemon Festival venue is lit with candles, will be held again this year at the same time.
Also, this year marks the seventh time for the UO!JAZZ festival to be held (Aug. 3rd). The UO!JAZZ is a music event featuring both domestic and international artists that are sure to bring great-sounding music.
At the Roadside Station Shinkiro venue, you can find delicious local gourmet foods and food trucks, so please enjoy the Uozu Festival while you fill your belly (Aug. 3rd only).
The various event locations are as follows: Suwa Shrine for the Tatemon Festival, Uozu Station Main Street for the Serikomi Choroku Odori, Uozu Port for the Fireworks Display Above the Sea, Roadside Station Shinkiro for UO!JAZZ, and Esashi Park, nearby shrines and temples, Chuo Street, etc., for Candle Road.
Also, on Fri, Aug. 2nd and Sat, Aug. 3rd, a free shuttle bus is available to use from Ainokaze Toyama Railway Uozu Station that will take you to the Tatemon event location. People who came by car or train may also ride on the shuttle.
Furthermore, the Kyoden Tanabata Festival, held every year on Aug. 7th, will once again be held this year in the Kyoden District. See the beautiful flow of lanterns floating across the sea and the charming nostalgic Japanese scenery.
