Why You Should Visit

A neighborhood Jizo-bon held at Motomachi Taki Park, a pocket park inside the arcade at the western end of Motomachi shopping street. Jizo-bon is a summer observance of praying to the Jizo statue for health, safety and a child's healthy growth, run here by the local residents' association and the shopping street. Children are the focus: from 3pm on the 24th, sweets are handed out as an offering (400 while they last). Free, no sign-up, and small enough to drop into with young kids while shopping.
