Many events at the Oike Festa.

Oike Festa is a festival that is held every autumn on Oike street . There were many events on the street for the weekend and of course Manga Museum held cosplay and many other events.



This is a photo from the tennis school that was held by a sport shop Mitsuhashi.



A girls baseball team "Asto dreams" from Kyoto taught baseball and also did a lecture about "Manga and baseball".



They actually have comics that are introducing each players. These books were donated to the museum.

The mascot from soccer team Kyoto Sanga F.C. visited the museum too. He was a popular character as you can see from the photo.



Cheerleaders from Kyoto University performed at the museum.




People in cosplay could go out from the museum during the COSJOY event at the weekend. There was chance to take photos in front of an armored car too.


Also flowers were given away. Many people enjoyed the festival for sure.
Look forward to the one next year.
