The Shibukawa Belly Button Festival has been held since 1984 with “Japan’s Bellybutton” as the theme, because Shibukawa City is located in the center of the Japanese islands.
Participants draw a face over their belly button, dance and parade through the streets.
If you arrive in Shibukawa City by train, you can walk straight up one of the streets to arrive at the intersection where the festival will be held.
