This festival is packed with the wintery charms of Nara, including displays of traditional events from each area of the prefecture, the sale of hot local gourmet foods and specialty products, and Tateyama or festival-related exhibitions from across the prefecture. There will also be a ceremony that re-enacts the ancient New Year’s custom of Gosaie, a talk show focusing on cultural properties in Nara that have been or are trying to be registered as World Heritage Sites, a workshop on the 2025 World Expo in Osaka, and a digital stamp rally that takes you around the tourist spots in Nara, including Otateyama and World Heritage Sites.
