Why You Should Visit
The experiential traveling theme park 'Ennichi,' which brings people together, comes to Messe Miki for its summer 'noryo' festival. Day one features a bon dance around a tower; day two centers on movie screenings on a giant screen. Hands-on booths — a traveling aquarium and petting zoo, pony rides, an SL train — and food stalls line the venue, along with a prize raffle. The hall is air-conditioned, so families can eat, watch, experience, and play in comfort even on hot days. Free admission, in the Kita-Harima area.
