The Kunchi Festival is an energetic and lively event, officially recognized as an important intangible folk culture in Japan. The performances are so much fun, and you can even watch the 'Niwa-mi' parade, which is said to bring good luck!

The Yabusame Ritual is a world-famous traditional event! Archers dressed as samurai shoot arrows while riding galloping horses, aiming to hit three targets in the arena. This horseback archery competition was popular among samurai from the Heian to Kamakura periods. You definitely have to experience it—it's such a unique tradition!

There's always a long line every time I come here, but it's totally worth the wait. I really love their cabbage rolls—the juicy ground meat inside makes me so happy!

Strolling between the thatched-roof houses in Ouchijuku~ We stopped by Yamagataya and tried the local custom of eating soba using a green onion instead of chopsticks~ Super unique. It really felt like stepping back in time to a simple, rustic village. Love it.
