On the second day, the main festival features the “Evening Mikoshi” grand parade, in which 15 mikoshi participate; over 3,800 bearers process through the streets of Ikebukuro to the rhythm of traditional festival music.

In addition, during the “Tokyo Yosakoi Contest” held on the second day, teams will compete for prizes with their elaborate and spectacular performances.

    Furthermore, the Toshima City Sister Cities Tourism and Products Fair will be held at Ikebukuro West Exit Park exclusively during the two days of the “Festival of Dance.” A total of 30 vendors—16 from sister cities and 14 others—are scheduled to participate. During these two days, visitors will not only be able to enjoy the dances but also sample local specialties from various regions, such as Nagano and Miyagi Prefectures.

    The 73rd Kōshū City Katsunuma Grape Festival will be held on Saturday, October 3

    The “Kōshū City Katsunuma Grape Festival” will be held in Katsunuma Town, Kōshū City, Yamanashi Prefecture—Japan’s premier grape- and wine-growing region.

    First, here’s a recommendation for all wine lovers. At this festival, 22 wineries from Katsunuma Town will set up booths, offering dozens of paid wine tastings featuring wines made primarily from grapes born and raised in Japan, such as “Koshu” and “Muscat ・ Bailey A.”

    For paid tastings, please first purchase a Katsunuma Glass ＋ tasting ticket booklet of 10 tickets ： for 3,000 yen (tax included). Then, present your tickets at the booths of the wineries you’re interested in to enjoy a tasting. If you’d like to taste more, please purchase an additional set of 10 ： tickets for 2,000 yen (tax included). You can also purchase a bottle on the spot if you find a wine you like.

    The participating wineries are listed below.

    Asaya Wines Co., Ltd., Ikeda Winery Co., Ltd., Iwasaki Brewing Co., Ltd., Oizumi Wines Co., Ltd., Katsunuma Brewing Co., Ltd.,

    Kinjō Wine Co., Ltd., Château Katsunuma Co., Ltd., Château Jun Co., Ltd.,

    Château Belleforêt Winery Katsunuma Winery Co., Ltd., Shirayuri Brewing Co., Ltd.,

    Soryu Wines Co., Ltd., Chuo Wines Co., Ltd., Harashige Wine Co., Ltd., Fujiclair Winery Co., Ltd.,

    Maruki Wine Co., Ltd., Marufuji Wine Industry Co., Ltd., Mans Wine Co., Ltd. Katsunuma Winery,

    Mercian Co., Ltd. Château ・ Mercian, Morita Koshu Winery Co., Ltd., Yamato Wine Co., Ltd.,

    Kurumbon Wine Co., Ltd., Co., Ltd. Enzan Seisakusho MGVs Winery （ In no particular order ）

    *Winery booths are open from 10:00 a.m. ～ to 5:00 p.m.

    Next, since this is the “Grape Festival,” there will, of course, be grapes for sale.

    Grapes will be sold by JA Fruit Yamanashi and tourist farms, so you can purchase popular varieties such as Shine Muscat at the venue.

    Also, don’t worry if you don’t drink wine. We’ll also be selling our annual favorite, “grape juice,” so you can fully savor the unique flavor of Katsunuma.

    Another highlight is the traditional Torii-yaki. A Goma fire ritual is performed at Daizen-ji Temple—known as the “Grape Temple”—and local middle school students, serving as the torch relay team ・ (divided into four districts representing the Katsunuma region), carry the sacred flame obtained from that ritual and run through the town. It’s truly moving to see them running their hardest, cheered on by spectators along the route and carrying the hopes of the Katsunuma community.

    The district teams then run to the festival grounds, where the main torch relay team ・ awaits, and hand over the sacred flame there. Having received the community’s hopes and the sacred flame from the district teams, the junior high school students of the main team set off toward Mt. Kashiwao.

    At 7:00 p.m., the Torii Bonfire will be lit. Since this can be viewed from the festival grounds, let’s all come together to welcome the festival’s grand finale. The combination of fireworks and the Torii Bonfire is sure to make for a moving finale.

    Please check the URL below for details on stage performers, traffic information, and various registration options.

    Special Olympics Hawaii Hosts the "17th Over ・ the ・ Edge"

    Special Olympics Hawaii, On Saturday, October 17, 2026 （, ） will host a charity event featuring a vertical descent from a height of
    over 120 meters down the exterior wall of the
    Hyatt Regency Waikiki Beach Resort and Spa .
    We are raising funds to support the activities of Special Olympics Hawaii and increase awareness of the organization.

    Why not support the athletes of Special Olympics Hawaii while enjoying breathtaking views of Waikiki and Diamond Head and a once-in-a-lifetime experience? The 17th annual “Over ・ the ・ Edge” charity event will take place on Saturday, October 17, 2026 （ ）, at the Hyatt Regency Waikiki Beach Resort and Spa. Participants will take on the thrilling and unique challenge of rappelling down the hotel’s exterior wall for over 120 meters. You can even pause during the descent to take photos of the endless blue ocean. Participants can enter individually or form teams with coworkers, friends, or family members. To register, visit bit.ly/sohiote2026から. Since space is limited, we recommend that those interested register as soon as possible.

    The registration fee is $100 per person; for team participants, it is $25 per person. Participants must weigh between 45 and 136 kilograms. Those under 18 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian and have a signed consent form.

    Tracy, Development Director for Special Olympics Hawaii, Tracy ・ Bender, said, “Over ・ the ・ Edge has grown into an event that reflects the strength and special spirit of our community. What makes this event special for participants is not only the challenge of rappelling along the rope down Waikiki’s beautiful coastline, but also the immense strength it instills in our athletes. Everyone faces their own fears and difficulties and overcomes them. This truly mirrors what our athletes experience every day,” she says.

    All participants will receive a commemorative 17th-anniversary “Over ・ the ・ Edge” T-shirt. Participants who raise $1,000 or more will also receive additional prizes. All funds raised will be used to support athletes throughout the State of Hawaii. Since its inaugural event in 2009, Over ・ the ・ Edge has raised a total of more than $2,247,500 for Special Olympics Hawaii athletes and programs.

    This event is presented in partnership with Hyatt Regency Waikiki Beach Resort & Spa, our Silver Medal Sponsor, which has provided the venue for 12 consecutive years, and New York Life. Even if you cannot attend the event, you can support Special Olympics Hawaii by donating to bit.ly/sohiote2026から税控除対象の寄付や or to one of the brave participants. This year’s Over ・ the ・ Edge aims to raise $203,000 in donations.
