Why You Should Visit
A neighborhood summer festival held on the 5th-floor bicycle deck of Ecoll Lilas, the shopping center right by Okaba Station on the Shintetsu line. Both days bring food stalls and kitchen cars alongside classic festival-game booths — target shooting, sen-bon-biki string pulls, ring toss and lucky-draw stands. Gemstone scooping and a kids' nail workshop round it out, making it easy going with small children. It runs straight through from 2:00 to 7:30 p.m., and since the venue adjoins the station you can drop in just for the cooler evening hours.
