Why You Should Visit
Aboshi Nursery School in Himeji, founded in 1951, opens its grounds and temple hall for a one-day festival marking its 75th anniversary. Admission is free and anyone can walk in: seven food trucks, tent stalls, and 16 hands-on workshops from moss terrariums to baby photo art. The temple-hall stage runs from taiko drums and dance to Okinawan sanshin and a soprano set, closing with a full hour of Tsugaru shamisen by Takuya Nakamura.
