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.
The town of Ikaho, just outside Shibukawa, has deep historical ties to the Kingdom of Hawai'i, and each year they celebrate by inviting performers from Hawai'i to showcase their talent alongside local performers at the Ikaho Hawaiian Festival.
ITS FESTIVAL SEASON! Our loved Numata festival is coming back this August 3rd til 5th.
Voted the best float festival in Northern Kanto, the Shibukawa Float Festival is a three day event where participating towns send lavishly decorated floats to parade through the city.
