Japanese Culture Experience Day Event on Nov. 3

Nakamachi’s popular Japanese culture event from last year is back again this November!

Participate in fun, hands-on activities such as playing the shamisen or a traditional geisha game, try out a ninja blowgun, make a wooden glider, drink some local sake, and more! You can also see an awesome Japanese swordsmanship demonstration, shamisen and Japanese drum performances, professional kendama players, and a parade of Japanese warriors.

See all the activities and schedule of demonstrations and performances on the event flyer.

Free Sticker Campaign – Starting Oct. 22

Grab some cool stickers when you go to Nakamachi Street after visiting Matsumoto Castle (hold on to your admission ticket stub)!

You can get the first sticker by simply showing your ticket stub at Kurassic-kan or at the Nakamachi Shopping Street Association Office. You can get the other versions when you purchase/use a service or get a bite to eat at participating shops.

See the flyer for more information. The campaign will last until stickers run out.
