Cosmos Festival in Kamikawa town
Kamikawa is a rural mountain town in Saitama Prefecture. It is best known for its winter cherry blossoms, which should be coming into bloom very soon. But the town also has a nice cosmos flower field and each year in October they have an one day cosmos festival at the field. They also have an industry festival simultaneously.
The Kamikawa town cosmos festival and the industry festival is on Sunday October 19th 2025, from 9.30 am to 3 pm. The festival includes presentations of performing arts from within and outside the town. In addition, they have an exhibition and sales corner run by local companies and organizations at the industrial booth, a mock shop corner, and a raffle for fun. The town mascots, a God and a pear, also usually make an appearance!
The festival is on at Yuuyuu Land, which is a park. It is about a 40 minute walk from Tansho Station on the Hachiko Line. By car, its about an 17 minute drive from the Honjo Kodama Interchange of the Kan-etsu expressway. There are traffic restrictions on the day.
