Venue & access: Amagasaki Castle Park / Chuo Park 1F / AMA-NEST (Sept 12 only) About a 5-minute walk from Hanshin Amagasaki Station to Amagasaki Castle Park, the first venue. All three venues are near the station and within walking distance of each other. Parking around the venues is limited, so the organizer asks visitors to come by public transport.

Why You Should Visit

A neighborhood festival built around beating the late-summer heat, spread across three venues near Hanshin Amagasaki Station. Amagasaki Castle Park hosts the newly added Aqua Park, with a water slide, slip-and-slide, fountains, a mini pool and giant soap bubbles. Chuo Park 1F holds Amuse Festa — food trucks plus festival-game and retail booths — along with stage performances and a cooling mist zone. AMA-NEST, open only on September 12, is an indoor craft-workshop marketplace. A stamp rally with a prize draw for children through high school ties the venues together, and all three are within walking distance of each other.
