Hiroshima Prefecture is famed throughout Japan for its oyster industry, so Miyajima (Itsukushima) with its strong connection to oyster farming is the perfect place for such an event.
What happens?
From a Cheapo angle, the festival offers good value with oysters selling from ¥100 each — much cheaper than the crazy prices paid for the same product in Tokyo. As if the oysters alone weren’t enough, there will also be a stage with taiko drumming entertainment.
Schedule
The festival generally takes place on the second Saturday and Sunday of February. However, keep in mind that the festival may be canceled in case of poor oyster growth, as it was in 2024.
