STORY
One day, a film reel of "Uzumasa Hyakki Yakō," a Yokai Jidaigeki (period drama) yokai (supernatural beings) that had been shelved long ago, was discovered in a warehouse at UZUMASA KYOTO VILLAGE.
While the film is being shown in the projection room, Yokai from the movie, unleashed from their seal for the first time in decades, leap out of the screen and embark on a grand parade of demons, revealing themselves to the people.
Tonight, a film that has gained supernatural powers over many years will transform UZUMASA KYOTO VILLAGE into a world of Yokai.

Kyoto YOKAI Festival 2024

Kyoto YOKAI Festival 2025
In the fall of 2024, the largest-scale Yokai (supernatural creature) event in the history UZUMASA KYOTO VILLAGE, "Kyoto YOKAI Festival," will be held for the first time.
From the first day of the event, a wide range of people visited, including families, young people, and foreign tourists. On the holiday around Halloween, October 26th of the same year, the highest number of inbound visitors since the opening of UZUMASA KYOTO VILLAGE in 1975 was recorded. It also marked the highest number of visitors for the autumn season in the past eight years.
The following year, the "Kyoto YOKAI Festival 2025" was held as the "International Yokai Summit," inviting researchers and practitioners from Japan and abroad, including Professor Emeritus Kazuhiko Komatsu, a recipient of the 2025 Order of Culture, to conduct international academic and cultural exchange on the theme of Yokai culture. New projects were developed, such as the public recording of Yokai variety show hosted by general producer Junya Kono, and the event grew in both scale and content, recording a number of visitors that exceeded the previous year's figures.
In 2026, its third year, the event will evolve into a vibrant parade of demons incorporating dance, themed "Let's Dance!! And Be Terrified!" as the first autumn season event since the renewal.

comment:
This is the third year Kyoto YOKAI Festival.
This year, with the renovation of UZUMASA KYOTO VILLAGE, the Hyakki Yakō (Night Parade of One Hundred Demons) will apparently become a Dancing Yokai Parade. Even for me, who has been working on Hyakki Yakō in Kyoto for 20 years, it's a surprising and unpredictable new territory. With the power of the dancers, it may turn out to be a wonderful show. I have high expectations!!
