Why You Should Visit
A free-entry food festival with 45 Higashiosaka restaurants and over 200 dishes at the fountain plaza of Hanazono Central Park. On Oct 11 it doubles as the 3rd Higashiosaka Ramen Grand Prix. Started in 2024 by a committee of local shop owners and now held about three times a year, the stage changes by day: comedy and idol groups on the 11th, then a hip hop & reggae show on the 12th with KEN-U and MCU of KICK THE CAN CREW. Game stalls, workshops, inflatables and piglets to pet make it a full family day out. A smaller pre-festival with 14 stalls runs on Saturday Oct 10 alongside the Masters Hanazono anniversary event.
