Why You Should Visit

A walking festival in Sakai's old moat-ringed district, the Kango area, designed to link local events with the shops and sights around them. From November 14 to 29, a stamp rally takes you through 13 participating spots — cafés, sweet shops and historic sites such as the Yamaguchi Residence and Sakai Rishonomori — and on the final day you can enter a prize draw at the former Sakai Fire Station. That same day, the building hosts the Hashiwatashi Marché with goods, food and workshops, plus fire engine and police car displays, while five other events take place across the area. A good way to spend a day exploring old Sakai on foot, with or without kids.
