Why You Should Visit

A community festival held on Culture Day at Sponic Park Ichinomiya in Shiso's Ichinomiya area. The stage runs from local junior high brass bands and yosakoi dancers to the Himeji Shirasagi taiko drummers, and at 13:00 Shiso tourism ambassador Yuki Seguchi gives a kayo song show. Police cars, ambulances and decorated trucks line up in the working-vehicle area, and you can ride the amphibious ARGO vehicle. Neighbourhood food stalls and food trucks cover lunch, and the day closes with the traditional mochi and sweets toss, so it suits families looking for a full day out.
