September 12 to November 29! Kaikai YOKAI Matsuri 2026 at Toei Kyoto Studio Park
Toei Kyoto Studio Park in Kyoto is bringing an eerie and energetic autumn celebration to its newly renovated Edo town area from September 12 to November 29, 2026.
The event pairs historical streetscapes with the theme Let’s Dance!! Eerie and Creepy!, featuring dynamic performances choreographed by TERUPOP, soundtracking by Takahiro Obata, and interactive entertainment that brings Japanese monster folklore to life.
Don't miss out on the following highlights!
Day and Night Hyakki Yagyo YOKAI Parade
The event's main feature, the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons (Hyakki Yagyo), offers two distinct experiences depending on the time of day.
During the daytime, visitors can dress up, join the walking procession, and take photos with Yokai during the interactive TWILIGHT parade and greeting sessions.
At night, guests can watch a theatrical live stage performance fusing film production tech, stage combat, and music, culminating in a grand finale where the audience dances along with the Yokai.
Interactive Dance Live and Character Greetings
A brand-new daytime program, Yokai ☆ Dance Live!, features simple, catchy choreography designed by TERUPOP for adults and children alike.
Guests can join the park mascot Kachinta and energetic Yokai hosts in an easy hand-clapping dance party.
Random character greetings, Yokai-themed art exhibitions, limited-edition merchandise, and photogenic Yokai food menus will also be available throughout the park grounds.

Visitors can choose from standard admission, merchandise-bundled tickets, or a season pass for multiple visits.
