Why You Should Visit
For four Obon days, the Harvest Hill farm park in Sakai stays open into the night for its summer festival. Bon-odori dancing and stage shows start in the late afternoon, and every night at 20:00 a five-minute mini fireworks show closes the day. Play with the animals and rides by day, graze the kitchen cars and game stalls in the evening, then finish with fireworks — a full family day out. Yukata are welcome, and a second run follows over the September holidays (Sep 20–23).
