Spring 春
Every April we have an "International Exchange Ninja Walk” during the Iga Ninja Festival. We visit the Ninja House or take a walk around the city with foreign residents of Japan.
Summer 夏
Summer events in Iga include a citizen's festival as well as a barbeque in the mountains. And a walk along the traditional Teramachi street in the evening is also an unmissable experience.
Autumn 秋
The Ueno Tenjin Festival, which has the 400-year-old history, is held annually on October. There are festival floats, a ‘demon parade,’ and many stalls open along the streets.
Winter 冬
Good water, rice and severe coldness are essential for making delicious Japanese sake. In this winter season, sake breweries hold the “Fresh Sake Festival”.
