Why You Should Visit
Held every November at Imashirozuka Kofun Park in Takatsuki, this free outdoor festival is all about kofun, Japan's ancient burial mounds. The 15th edition again brings stalls of kofun-themed goods by creators and kofun-inspired food, plus on-site voting for the "Kofun-1 Grand Prix," where visitors pick the top creator. Two stages, one by the inner moat and one by the outer moat, host live music and talks, and the characters Hanimaru and Hinbe as well as Kumamon make appearances. Hands-on activities such as haniwa clay modeling and a Tyrannosaurus race are also planned, making it a good day out for history fans and families alike.
