Why You Should Visit

Neyagawa's big summer festival moves to the front of Neyagawashi Station for its 49th edition, while its usual riverside park undergoes renovation. The station's Sawayaka Road becomes a pedestrian festival street with two stages — Yoshimoto comedy, an Anpanman mini-stage and bon-odori dancing — plus "Snow World" where snow falls in midsummer, a kids' zone with a petting aquarium and bouncy castles, and a food area. Everything sits within a short walk of the station.
