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).

FAQ

Do the fireworks cost extra?

No — regular admission (1,500 yen adults, 1,000 yen kids) covers the bon-odori and the fireworks.

Can I stay for the fireworks using public transport?

Risky — the last regular bus back to Izumigaoka leaves in the early evening, likely before the 20:00 fireworks end. If you're staying late, drive (about 1,800 free parking spaces).

What if it rains?

Festival programmes are postponed in rain, with decisions posted on the official event page.
