Mirai Fes Machida EXPO 2026 Wraps Up! Three Days in Haramachida Featuring Takeru

The event ran for three days from Friday, June 19 to Sunday, June 21, 2026, along Haramachida Dori.

Haramachida Dori sits just a one-minute walk from Machida Station on the JR and Odakyu lines.
Food trucks, experience booths, and the main stage filled the street, drawing many Machida residents throughout the weekend.
Admission was free. Three days that brought together families, young people, and everyone in between.

Stadium Gourmet and Machida's Food All in One Place

The standout attraction in the festival's food area was the stadium gourmet stalls.
Food from pro sports teams based in Machida gathered under one roof, letting visitors enjoy dishes normally available only inside stadiums, right in the middle of Haramachida.
Lines formed at the food trucks, and reactions like "I can't believe stadium food is this close" could be spotted on social media.

The combination of food-hopping and a close-up look at sports was a reminder of the bonds between the city and its local pro teams.
Through the festival, sport, food, and the neighborhood connected into one experience.

Takeru Arrives in Haramachida

One of the most talked-about moments of the three days was the appearance of former kickboxing world champion Takeru.
The kickboxer who claimed three titles in K-1 stepped onto the Haramachida stage, sending the crowd into a frenzy.

His presence on stage drew loud cheers from the audience.
After the event, X (formerly Twitter) filled with reactions like "Takeru was actually there" and "I can't believe I got to see him in Machida," amplifying buzz around the entire festival.
Having a world-class guest appear at a local neighborhood festival is an experience that's hard to find anywhere else.

Music Lives and AI Experiences: A Diverse Lineup

Music live performances also took the stage.
Voice actress Rika Matsumoto, known for her role as Satoshi (Ash), and Keitaro, an artist from Machida, both performed, creating a lineup that appealed to all ages.

The venue also offered AI experiences and drone demonstrations.
True to the theme of "Machida's Future," there were plenty of opportunities to get hands-on with technology.
A web-app-linked event called "Kobito Sagashi" (Finding Little People), where participants explored the neighborhood searching for character panels, also proved popular and drew foot traffic into surrounding shopping streets.

The Energy Continues on X After the Festival

From the night of the 21st when the festival closed, posts flooded X (formerly Twitter).
Comments like "Best three days ever," "I want this every year," and "I'm so moved I got to see Takeru" lined up in timelines.
X was filled with posts praising the festival.

The event was also featured on the official site of the Machida Tourism and Convention Association, showing the whole community got behind this festival.

"Machida's Future" as Told from Haramachida

What came through across the three days was a sense of "community and human connection" brought alive through the event.
Pro sports, martial arts, music, technology, neighborhood walking — few festivals manage to pack this much variety onto a single street.
If it comes back next year, it's well worth a visit.
