Uchiko Ikazaki Kite Fighting Festival

Every year, the lovely city of Uchiko in Ehime holds a unique kite festival where amateurs and schools of the Uchiko area come and show off their skills. The winner here will be the person who was able to let his kite fly as high as possible.

Also, part of the Uchiko Ikazaki Kite Fighting Festival are these huge kites that feature the name of the city’s newborn children in order to wish them good health and good fortune.

Taking place all day long the Uchiko Ikazaki Kite Fighting Festival is a fun little festival that is worth checking out if you are visiting Ehime around May!
