Yamatomichi HLC Hiking Festival 2024
in Lake Biwa

Get ready for Yamatomichi HLC Hiking Festival 2024.

This year the festival will be held at Lake Biwa, Omi-Maiko on November 16th and 17th.Although we are still in the planning stages, we can assure you that there will be a Bon Odori dance hosted by the “Imagine Bon Bu,” tent saunas, local food and more.

From Iwate in 2019 to Shikoku’s Mt. Ishizuchi in 2023 each festival has been incredible. However, we must keep in mind that with every new location comes a new vibe and community, so it could turn out to be a completely different experience from our past events.

Meaning, the success of the festival depends on you, the hikers! Hikers are the kind of people who can find happiness, joy, and fun in the middle of nowhere, in heavy rain, and even in difficult situations.

What will happen when hundreds of hikers gather? We can’t wait to see you in November at Lake Biwa.
