Kawagoe Yokai Walk 2023
【overview】
The "Kawagoe Yokai Walk" event, which was held last year to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the establishment of Kawagoe City Government, will be held again in 2023! This event brings together many yokai from all over the country, and the sight of authentic yokai marching through the Edo-style streets is a spectacular sight. Viewing the procession is free, so don't miss it!
[Date and Time]
Saturday, September 16, 2023 15:00-21:00
【place】
Hatago COEDOYA
【schedule】
Yokai Town Walk
Many yokai are strolling around the town of Kawagoe. To prevent any trouble or complaints, only yokai who have been recruited in advance can participate in the Kawagoe Yokai Walk and procession. (We are currently at capacity and applications are closed.)
Kawagoe Night Parade of One Hundred Demons
The yokai will depart from Hatago COEDOYA at 6:30pm and parade through Tatemonzen-dori and Taisho Roman Yume-dori streets.
Mischievousya Stage Show in Hatago COEDOYA
Tonight, a very strange mysticism tavern will open at the Kawagoe Inn Koedoya.
The skills shine in street performances, the great tricks are like illusions, and the sense of unity will make you sweat! The story is told by a monster storyteller, and the dance is a seductive pole dance! Everyone will be fascinated! Monsters run rampant, and welcome to a space where non-human monsters gather. For humans, it may be too stimulating and they may lose their soul.
Be sure to check out the yokai stage show "Fascinated Hut," which provides an extraordinary and bizarre space!
