Profile

Machida Jidai Matsuri 2019 executive committee
Organized for the purpose of giving visitors from Machida City and beyond a taste of the city’s history and culture, the first event Machida Jidai Matsuri 2010 was held in October that year.
With the number of visitors growing annually, for the festival’s 10th year in 2019 we introduced initiatives such as overseas promotion of the festival, and co-sponsorship with literary and art museums.
