Why You Should Visit
A neighbourhood summer evening run each year by the youth association of Oishi in Nada Ward. Stalls selling yakisoba, shaved ice and yo-yo fishing line up in the park in front of the Saigo Community Exchange Center, all priced at ¥200. You buy tickets first and hand them over at each stall. A decorated mikoshi (portable shrine) is on display as usual. For 2026 the start has been pushed back to 17:30 to avoid the worst of the heat, running two hours until 19:30. A small, unhurried local festival where the children of the district gather.
