Why You Should Visit
A two-day festival at Okazaki Park and Rohm Theatre Kyoto under the theme "the future starts here". Outdoors there are future-job experiences for children, a JC play area and food stalls from Kyoto restaurants. Indoors, an opening forum is joined by a group attempt at a Guinness World Record with comedians Obata no Oniisan and Koji Saikawa. The closing Bon Fes Live is a present-day bon-odori spun by DJs. Everything is free; only some forums need advance sign-up.
