Oyako Day is a gift to the future, nurtured by all of us!
~ Present to the future~
Oyako Day 2026, celebrating its 24th year, will be held on Sunday, July 26!
What if there were one day each year when parents and children could pause and truly connect with one another?
A day that helps strengthen the bonds shared by families everywhere.
Inspired by this vision, photographer Bruce Osborn founded Oyako Day in 2003.
We are pleased to announce the 7th Oyako Photo Festival — As Many Stories as There Are Families, once again to be held at the Foreign Correspondents’ Club of Japan (FCCJ). The exhibition will run from May 30 (Saturday) through June 26 (Friday), 2026.
Bruce Osborn exhibits Reverberation from his Flying series at the 51st JPS Exhibition in Tokyo and Kyoto. The Tokyo exhibition is being held at the Tokyo Photographic Art Museum from May 27 (Wed) through June 5 (Fri).
It will be followed by the Kansai exhibition, taking place at the Kyoto Municipal Museum of Art Annex from June 9 (Tue) through June 14 (Sun).
EPIC: Elvis Presley in Concert is more than a concert film—it’s a powerful reminder of why Elvis remains timeless.
Haunted house producer Hirofumi Gomi joins the 46th Oyako Day Talk Live to explore fear, storytelling, and emotional thrills.
There came a day when I stopped going on family trips. I had been glued to my desk preparing for university entrance exams… or perhaps, I had just come up with that excuse. The truth was, I simply couldn’t find a reason to go to noisy places with my family anymore.
The Oyako Day Photo Contest 2026 is now open through August 31. In addition to email submissions, entries are also accepted via Instagram.
