Shingen Festival
It is a festival held every year in remembrance of the virtues of Shingen Takeda, a famous general of the Sengoku period, and the main is the "Koshu Corps", which takes place on the second day. A corps with 24 Shingen as a general, centered on Shingen, is formed, and over 1000 warlords converge on Maizuru Castle (Kofu Castle) Park to recreate bravely in the "Kawanakajima Battle" where they clashed with Sengoku daimyō, Uesugi Kenshin. The powerful Sengoku Emaki that the warriors work on is a masterpiece. The role of Shingen in 2025 is actress Jun Shibuki, a top star of the former Takarazuka Uta troupe Tsukigumi. You can also enjoy gourmet and various events such as "bustling castle town". Image courtesy of Shingen Public Festival Executive Committee
