How we checked
Last checked October 17, 2026 against sibf.jp. Before anything appears here, a separate check fetches each source again and confirms that every date we show is in the quoted text.
Notes from the last check
The official English pages consistently give 30 October to 3 November 2026 at Kase Riverside, Saga, and the page was updated 1 October 2026, but the homepage meta description gives different weekdays and dates (31 October to 4 November), which is flagged as a conflict and not used.
Dates, prices and details change. This information is gathered and checked automatically and may contain mistakes. Always confirm with the official website before you book travel.
