About the event
2 November rain update: The festival is using a revised rain programme. Point 4, AIWA Special Seat (150 seats), moves to the second-floor kendo hall at Shizuoka City Central Gymnasium; its performances begin 30 minutes later than originally scheduled. Further changes or cancellations remain possible. Check the latest venue notice and rain timetable before travelling.
Pick a cluster of performance points rather than trying to cross the whole city between acts. Street performances and separately ticketed premium shows offer different ways to visit. Use the revised online timetable: changes announced on 9 October supersede parts of the printed guide.
