Why You Should Visit
A two-day festival of Kochi produce and culture held by Kochi Prefecture right by Osaka Station, built around three things: yosakoi dance, the street market and food culture. Naruko clappers are handed out free so visitors can join the yosakoi dancing, and the street market gathers stalls from Kochi's towns and villages with goods you will not find in Kansai shops. There is a Tosa sake tasting booth, and on the 4th a booth where you can try okyaku, the local banquet games, with Tosa geisha. Entry is free and it is a short walk from Osaka Station.
