Miyajima’s craft and local-products festival takes place on Saturday and Sunday, November 14–15, 2026. The venue is the plaza in front of the island’s ferry pier. Hours are 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Japan Standard Time on both days, and admission is free.
Watch wood take shape
Working craftspeople will demonstrate Miyajima rokuro, the island’s woodturning craft. Watch the wood being cut and shaped on a lathe for a closer look at how a finished piece begins. Woodturning experiences are also planned. Booths will sell Miyajima crafts and specialty products from nearby communities.
Try a different kind of oyster souvenir
A separate workshop turns discarded oyster shells into handmade items. This oyster-shell workshop is free and runs from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on both days. It closes two hours before the main festival, so make it an earlier stop if you want to take part.
Leave time for the craft exhibition
A separate craft exhibition takes place on the second floor of the Hiroden Miyajima community center (ひろでん宮島まちづくり交流センター). The exhibition is open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on November 14–15, with free admission.
For workshop registration, availability and any charges for the woodturning experience, contact the organizer through the Miyajima Tourist Association’s event listing before you go.
