Please see “Osu Daido Chonin Festival（大須大道町人祭）” once every October at Osu Shopping Street in Osu Kannon!
Old street performances in Japan and Oiran Dochu, which is held at the same time, is a popular festival for foreign tourists because of the feeling of The Nippon.
This article introduces the date, highlights, access, etc. of the Daido Chonin Festival held in Osu, Nagoya.
Highlights of Osu Daido Chonin Festival
Street performances are performed on streets such as the streets of shopping streets and in front of shrines in the shopping streets, so it is recommended that you see them right nearby.
In addition, Osu has the history of being the first street performance event in Japan, and is now a festival that has grown to reach over 500,000 people.
Jugling, pantomime, and a wide variety of arts such as cattail oil selling and gold powder show that have only been seen on TV are a fun and fun event to watch.
It is held in October every year, but this month is not inferior to Nagoya Festival, which is hosted by Nagoya City. The festival in Nagoya started as a festival for citizens, and many citizens of Nagoya enjoy this festival every year.
Originally, foreigners are also famous for cosplay and so on, so there are many visitors and participants from overseas.
On the day before the festival of the year, my friends from overseas came to Japan and I was planning to stay at my house.
In the shopping street, there is a shop that recycles and sells good old days, and you can take in kimonos, take a number of photos and enjoy with street performances, and it was good to take them. I am thinking.
Simultaneous “Oiran Dochu(おいらん道中)” is gorgeous
It is said that this festival is the largest and the “Oiran Dochu” held at the same time is very gorgeous.
Ordinary people can apply for the role of Oiran or child’s Kamuro as long as there are conditions, and the system is selected from the applicants.
Dressed as a gorgeous Oiran, walking around the shopping streets and the town of Osu, combined with the luxuries of its costumes, makes you feel like you’ve slipped back in time as far as the camera shutter can’t stop ringing.
Many cosplayers dressed in the same style on the day recently have been exciting the festival.
Originally, there are many shops that sell used clothes in shopping streets, and kimonos are also sold, so you can easily dress up as Oiran.
Access from Nagoya Station to Osu Kannon(大須観音)
Take the municipal subway Higashiyama Line bound for Fujigaoka from Nagoya Station, change to the subway Tsurumai Line at the first station “Fushimi”, get off at the first station “Osu Kannon Station(大須観音)” and exit from Exit 2. And arrive in Osu Kannon in a few minutes. The shopping street is easy to understand as it is right next to Osu Kannon.
Or during the daytime you can get on the Sakuradori Line bound for Tokushige and get off at Marunouchi Station, where you can transfer to the Tsurumai Line.
Even if you get off at the subway Meijo Line “Yabacho Station(矢場町)”, it is a place that is prosperous as the center of Nagoya, so it is fun to walk around the city and aim for Osu, so it is recommended.
I think that it takes about 2.5 km from Nagoya Station, so taxi does not take much time and fare. It is thought that there is no taxi driver who does not know Osu Kannon.
The date will be held
October 19 and 20, 2024.

In the past, the elderly dropped by at the Osu shopping street every year when the elderly visited Osu Kannon.
The festival was held in 1978, and many people came to visit it. In the last 20 years, it has grown to be a mecca for young people.
Various events are held with the enthusiasm of the people in the shopping street, and Osu has grown to a large shopping street full of families and daters on Saturdays and Sundays.
This festival is a festival that can be enjoyed by men and women of all ages and people of all nationalities. Volunteers and staff from the shopping street dressed as a tile will provide free information on the city of Osu, so even first-time visitors can feel safe.
It is also one of the four major Kannon in the Tokai area, and is also the Kannon chosen for the good luck of each year. The nostalgic mix of the present and the old times is also the appeal of this festival.
Please go to the Osu Daido Chonin Festival, which is as attractive as the Nagoya Festival.
