Affectionately known as ‘Ulfes’, this annual summer festival about all things Ultraman has been going strong since 1989. The 25th edition of the fest again centres around the live performance stage, where you can expect quite a few Ultramans (Ultramen?) to make appearances. Fans of all ages should enjoy the giant battle dioramas and the many displays of movie-related paraphernalia, while kids won't want to miss the chance to shoot selfies together with their masked heroes. There will of course be plenty of limited-edition merchandise on offer for collectors, too.
