Shibamata Kawajin Machinamikan (柴又川甚まちなみ館) will hold "Shibamata Kawajin Machinamikan Autumn Marugoto Experience Fair 2026" (柴又川甚まちなみ館 秋のまるごと体験市 2026) on Saturday, November 28 and Sunday, November 29, 2026. This year's theme is "Create, Touch, and Enjoy" (「つくって、ふれて、楽しんで。」).
Using the whole Machinamikan in autumn, the event is designed so that visitors can do more than look: they can make things, touch things, and take part. Activities for all ages, from children to adults, range from an outdoor tea ceremony and matcha experience (野点・抹茶体験) under the autumn sky to a dry landscape garden experience (枯山水体験), food sample making, pickle making, and exhibits by businesses in Katsushika Ward along with experiences using their products.
Performances, Festival Stalls, and Food Trucks in the Park
Performances are planned in the park on both days.
- Saturday, November 28: Owara dance by Rakuya Tokyo Owara-ren (楽家東京おわら連) and a monkey show by Nikko Saru Gundan (日光さる軍団)
- Sunday, November 29: Awa Odori dance by Katsushika Seiran-ren (かつしか青藍連), Japanese drumming by Oedo Hana Daiko (大江戸華太鼓), and festival music by the Kanamachi Tokiwa Kasai Bayashi Preservation Society (金町常盤葛西囃子保存会), among others
