Japanese Yokai Festival

Delve into the mysteries of Japanese yо̄kai at this festival!

Yо̄kai are supernatural beings from Japanese folklore—some are said to inhabit everyday objects, some are mimics, and some even resemble humans! From the kappa to the tengu, there are hundreds of different yо̄kai, each with their own unique quirks and appearances. Come discover some of the most famous yо̄kai and enjoy making fun yо̄kai-themed crafts! This unique event is presented in partnership with the Japan-U.S. Friendship Commission, Hinoki Foundation, and visitors from Shimane University in Japan!!

Featuring a one-of-a-kind performance by Sakura Japanese Instrumental Group!
