Overview

Otoyoi Walk 2026 is an extraordinary “onsen circuit” music festival held in the historic Iizaka Onsen district of Fukushima City. Launched in 2013 to revitalize the region through the healing power of music, this festival has earned a reputation for its incredibly intimate and “homey” atmosphere. Unlike standard music festivals held in stadiums or parks, the stages here are integrated into the town’s historical fabric, utilizing unconventional locations such as 250-year-old earthen storehouses, local temple grounds, and the grand banquet halls of traditional Japanese inns.

The 2026 edition continues this legacy by turning the nostalgic streets of Iizaka Onsen into a vibrant musical playground. Attendees can wander between six different venues, experiencing performances at arm’s length from the artists while soaking in the cultural heritage of one of Tohoku’s oldest hot spring towns. It is a unique fusion of modern melodies and deep-rooted traditions, where the sound of indie pop and rock blends perfectly with the steam of the thermal springs, creating a festival experience found nowhere else in Japan.

Why Attend

• Experience “ultra-intimate” live performances in unique historical settings including the Jyukken-gura storehouse, Josenji Temple, and traditional Ryokan banquet halls.
• Receive two complimentary hot spring bath tickets with every admission, allowing you to relax in Iizaka’s famous therapeutic waters between musical sets at local public bathhouses.
• Discover a curated lineup that blends national indie talent like Pop Shinanaide and Gusokumuzu with local Fukushima favorites and traditional Iizaka Hachiman Shrine drum performances.
• Explore the charming streets that inspired legendary poet Matsuo Basho while enjoying local Fukushima delicacies such as Enban Gyoza and radium eggs from street vendors.

Faqs

How do I use the complimentary onsen bath tickets included with my purchase?

Each festival ticket comes with two onsen vouchers that are distributed on the day of the event at the general reception. These vouchers can be used at designated public bathhouses and participating ryokans through May 6th, 2026.

What documentation is required for the student ticket category?

Attendees who purchase student tickets must present a valid student identification card at the venue on the day of the performance. Failure to provide ID may result in being asked to pay the price difference for a general admission ticket.

Are there age restrictions for children attending Otoyoi Walk?

The festival is generally open to all ages, but specific guidelines for very young children should be checked on the official website closer to the date. Most circuit festivals in Japan require one ticket per person regardless of age.

Performances will be spread across six venues including the Former Horikiri Residence Jikken Storehouse, Josenji Temple Main Hall, BAR Gakuya, and the Komatsuya Banquet Hall. These locations are all within walking distance of Iizaka Onsen Station.

What is the best way to travel to the festival from Tokyo?

Iizaka Onsen is approximately 120 minutes from Tokyo; take the Tohoku Shinkansen to JR Fukushima Station (about 100 minutes) and transfer to the Iizaka Line for a 20-minute local train ride. The festival venues begin right near the station exit.
