Why You Should Visit

The neighbourhood bon odori of Chidoribashi, held in Baika-higashi Park in Osaka's Konohana Ward. From 2026 the local collective Chidories has taken over production and rebuilt it as "Baika Bessekai Sai", a single day running 13:00 to 22:00. Food stalls — okonomiyaki, coffee, crêpes — plus live music and DJs fill the park from the afternoon, and the dancing starts as the sun goes down. Hands-on corners include caricature drawing, kimono dressing, a plant-brush workshop and mölkky. Free to enter and easy to drop into with kids.
