Why You Should Visit

A street festival on Kandaimae-dori, the shopping street leading to Kansai University's Senri-yama campus, closed to traffic for the day and run by the Kandaimae shopping street's organising committee. Started in 2025, this is its second edition. The Kansai University cheerleading squad opens the day with a parade, followed by food stalls from local shops, games for kids, a kendama and menko (card-flipping) contest, and a student stage. There is also a disaster-preparedness quiz rally using the Mimamoriai app, which helps search for people with dementia and lost children. Held rain or shine — good for families and anyone curious about this student neighbourhood.
