13Oyama Dinosaur Festival
Discover excitement and smiles in Oyama, the home of dinosaurs!
The Oyama area of Toyama City is a major source of dinosaur footprint fossils, a rarity in Japan.
The "Oyama Dinosaur Festival," which is a huge success every year, was started to convey its charm in a fun way.
The main event is the "Tyrannosaurus Race," where participants run 50 meters in dinosaur costumes.
The sight of colorful "dinosaurs" sprinting at full speed is so impactful that it's sure to bring a smile to your face.
Seeing people of all ages, from elementary school children to adults, fully enjoying the summer in Oyama is truly invigorating.
The venue will feature a children's festival, a lottery market, stage performances,
There were rows of booths filled with excitement, including one selling dinosaur-themed goods made by local students.
We want more people to know about "Dinosaur Village"—
It's a warm and lively summer festival overflowing with the love and spirit of the local community.
The whole family can laugh, eat, run (!?), and fully experience the charm of Mt. Daisen.
