Announcing the "Utsunomiya Gyoza Festival 2025" to be held November 1 and 2 in Utsunomiya City, Tochigi Pref, Japan
EntSun News/11073242
Taste a wide variety of Gyoza - Japanese dumplings - in Utsunomiya City, the Gyoza Mecca of Japan!
UTSUNOMIYA, Japan - EntSun -- The Utsunomiya Gyoza Festival 2025 will be held in Utsunomiya City November 1st and 2nd. Utsunomiya, known as the Gyoza or "Japanese Dumpling Mecca," is the capital of Tochigi Prefecture and about 2 hours north of Tokyo's Asakusa Station, via Tobu Railways.
Gyoza is one of Japan's most popular foods, alongside ramen, sushi, curry rice, and tempura. Gyoza, originally from China, is a pan-fried, steamed or boiled dumpling wrapper filled with meat, cabbage, and leeks. Gyoza fans say the dumplings offer an irresistible deliciousness with an exquisite contrast of texture and flavor. In Utsunomiya around 300 shops that offer Gyoza on their menus, line the streets, as the city hosts the Gyoza Festival annually. The festival is organized by the members of the Utsunomiya Gyoza Festival Executive Committee, with famous shops setting up stalls to sell their signature specialties. There are dozens of varieties with subtle differences, due to seasoning, contents, and cooking styles. Visitors can enjoy hopping between stalls, sampling sets of 3 to 5 gyoza for just 200 yen ($1.35). During the two-day event, attendees can also watch musical and comedic performances at the Miya Jazz Inn, and at other venues nearby. In fact, Utsunomiya is also renowned as a jazz city, having fostered numerous world-class musicians.

Oya History Museum: The Oya Stone Quarry was once the region's primary source of income.

The Oyaji Temple, a 10-minute walk from the museum, is also well worth a visit. This over 1,200 years old temple is built against a massive, exposed Oya stone rock wall.
Bamboo Forest at Wakayama Farm: Wakayama Farm features fields stretching for nearly 60 acres, with bamboo groves extending beyond sight. For three generations, the Wakayama family has grown and maintained this bamboo forest. Popular activities include strolling through the bamboo groves while listening to the soothing rustle of bamboo leaves, savoring green tea served in bamboo bowls, and sauntering through the bamboo groves illuminated at night.
